It is a multi user system. We can connect more than one derminal in the same Central Processing Unit. This is the main unit of Computer, which is being responsible for processing. (Terminal = Monitor + Keyboard). We can connect maximum 16 terminal to the same CPU (Central Processing Unit).
Mini Computer is much more powerful and faster than micro-computer. Minicomputers marked not just a technical development, but also an economic and organizational one. Mainframes were extremely large and expensive machines, and typically only the largest organizations had more than one.
