(sorry about spelling mistakes)...x

A network computer is just a computer that's linked to a network. The idea is that several computers share resources, like yours at school probably share a printer, an Internet connection etc. instead of having one each. That's a simple network.

Hope that helps.

There are 2 possible answers. One is to talk about a "networked" computer, ie a desktop or laptop computer that is linked to a network. The other is to talk about a thin-client computer, ie one that doesn't have (or at least, doesn't need) much processing power or even a hard disk. All it contains is a web browser, and thus all the applications that it uses are simply web sites. For example, if all you want to do with your PC is to send emails and write documents, and you were willing to use a web-based email service such as hotmail and a web-based word processor such as Google Docs & Spreadsheets, you wouldn't need anything on your PC except a web browser. I think this is what your teacher means, but the question is ambiguous and not a particularly well considered one.

Ask your teacher to be more specific becuase 'Network computer' could mean many things.
