Hard disk drive is the mechanism that reads and writes data on a hard disk. Hard disk drive has many inflexible platters (discs) coated with magnetic material. Read/write heads can record computer data on these discs. A typical hard disk rotates at 3,600 revolutions per minute, and the read/write heads ride over the surface of the disk on a cushion of air 25 micron deep. Hard disk drives (HDDs) for PCs generally have seek times of about 12 milliseconds or less. Hard disk drives are sometimes called Winchester drives. Winchester is the name of one of the first popular hard disk drive technologies developed by IBM in 1973.

There are many ways to transport information on this highway, through the various application programs such as e-mail and the World Wide Web. All of these applications are based on a client/server relationship, in which your computer is the client, and a remote computer is the server. Your computer asks for files, and formats the information it receives. The information is actually stored on a remote computer, and is sent to you over the telephone line at your request, usually at the click of a mouse.

Any computer can be used to connect to the Internet. However, this is your personal line on the information superhighway. The slower your computer is, the slower the traffic in your line will be when sending and receiving information. To take advantage of the multimedia components that are available - the video, audio and interactive elements of the Net - it is almost mandatory to have a powerful PC or Apple home computer because multimedia files are much larger than pure text files.

Your computer will use your normal telephone line to transport data while you are connected. There is no need to have a second line installed, though there are some obvious disadvantages to having only one line. The size of your telephone line can also seriously affect the quality and speed of your access. A couple of alternatives to the traditional telephone connection are described in Chapter 4 in the section on access speeds.
