Abstract
A microcomputer differs from a mainframe or a minicomputer in size, cost and power. Typically, micros are smaller, cost less and do not have the throughput of a mainframe. However, with today's technological improvements, microcomputers have surpassed the mainframes of yesteryear. Local processing and small data bases have become usual applications.
