Every game from the latest multimedia games to old favorites like cards and chess can played on home computers.
Home computers are used to balance family finances, to complete banking transaction, and even to do the grocery shopping.
Those computers which are equipped with a modem allow users to go "online" to "chat" with other -- that is, people can have a conversation on the computer about anything from being in love to getting medical advice.
And of course students use home computers to type up school reports, to research their papers for classes and even to do the calculations for math homework.
