b. No; TCP does not dictate routing, just packet reassembly.





 

c. No; It's the other way around.





 

d. No; TCP is not a kind of computer, it's a protocol.





 

a. No; well, sort of, but it still required some specialized programs and skills to set them up.





 

b. No; not so, and even then there were startup and connection charges to the nearest hub.





 

c. Yes; all machines only had to connect to the local server, and were then sent around the world, if necessary, via the network.

a. No; well, sort of, but it is more than that.





 

b. No; the WWW is more than just computers.





 

c. Yes; the WWW is based upon the hypertext transfer protocol, which can run alongside and with IP, and TCP on Internet servers.





 

d. No; not really, since the WWW is more than just computers.
