Does the server on a network see what am I doing on the computer?

Q. Our school computer are connected on a network and is connected to the internet through a desktop computer that acts like a server and most sites are being blocked. Does the server see if I am installing a program or going to some website or playing games?

A. They might have some monitoring stuff installed on the PC you use, which CAN track keylogs, what you did, and etc. Well if they have them installed, they can see.

The server can see what you do on the internet if they have the right stuff installed. They can know like what websites the computer you use has visited, but not what you install, and stuff that doesent have to do anything with internet.

Tracking softwares need to be installed on the computer thats getting used. Maybe some geekheads employed at the school will check what students did with their computers. As long as the school don't write down who was sitting at the computer at what time, they wont know who did the stuff on the computer, unless they have some kind of CCTV in the room where computers are situated.

Unless they have this tracking software installed on all the computers, they wont know who did what , you can never know if theres a tracking software working or not, its hidden and can't be spotted easily.

But they can still see what students do with the internet


What do you recommend in my situation: desktop pc or macbook?
Q. I am a freshman in high school, I need to type essays and do research. I need microsoft office 2007. My dad says he will buy me a desktop computer, OR a macbook. What do you think I should pick. And can you put microsoft word on a macbook.

A. Microsoft Office runs natively in Mac OS, yes.

Personally, I'd take the MacBook (Pro if you can). While they are pretty expensive, they are great computers. A big selling point for the MacBook, given these two computers, is the mobility of the MacBook. You can take it with you to school, take notes, maybe even get some of your essays done during "down time" in class.

I was a PC user my whole life... but recently, I switched to Mac, and I love it! While desktops in general give you more for less money (especially PCs), mobility is huge and the OS X operating system is simple, easy, and aesthetically pleasing.

A PC gives you access to all the hardware, and ALL the software (including the files that can permanently crash your computer if tampered with). A Mac makes things simple, you don't have many problems, but in the event that you do, there's probably an Apple Store close(ish) to you, they'll fix it up, or give you a new computer if need be.

I love Mac, and am never* making the switch back to PC. My only exception is if I were to build a gaming beast... PC is the best for this. (Unless you have $30,000 extra for a Mac gaming beast).
