personal computers to help them run smoothly and efficiently (truth be known, an OS is needed to make any computer run at all). But not until recently did I discover that operating systems must also be used in larger mainframes and servers as well. After all, servers are computers too! And any computer, regardless of its size or purpose, needs internal instructions. It needs a set of executable code that makes the thing come alive. One might say that operating systems are the souls of computers everywhere

government researchers to share information. Computers in the '60s were large and immobile and in order to make use of information stored in any one computer, one had to travel to the site of the computer or have magnetic computer tapes sent through the conventional postal system. Another spark in the formation of the Internet was the Cold War. The Soviet's launch of the Sputnik satellite encouraged the U.S. Defense Department to consider secure ways information could be distributed. This eventually
