I guess the confusion arises because any computer that doesn't sit on or under someone's desk can be called a "server" - and I can date this semantic distortion to an exchange I had about 12 years ago. I got very irritated - situation normal! - when the security folk started calling the RS/6000 machines which I used for teaching "servers". I replied - probably much to their confusion - that there were no "servers" in the room!!! In fact these machines were in a classroom rather than in an office and that was probably the criterion used by these poor deluded folk rather than the presence of a desk.
