• Cache: Copies of the Web pages you visit are stored in a cache. This is usually a temporary folder on your computer. However, your dialup service provider or company network may use a cache to store pages you visit.
  
  The goal of a cache is to speed up Web browsing. If you visit the same page twice, your cache may supply the page instead of the Web server -- since the page doesn't have to travel across a network, it should load faster.
  
  If you load a page from your cache, but the page has been changed on the server in the meantime, you might not see the latest version.
  
  
• Browser Incompatibilities: Different makers and versions of Web browsers support different features. For that reason, there may be differences in the way a page of information is displayed. Typically, those differences are slight, such as larger or smaller text or different-sized margins.
  
  While City tests their pages in as many different browsers as possible, those browser differences may lead to mistaken interpretations of the content.
  
  
• Proxy: A proxy is a server that collects requests from your browser and filters them before sending them to the Internet. Proxy servers can:
• protect an organization's network from outside attacks;
• mask the specific identity of the person making the request;
• filter requests and only allow certain types of requests through;
• record a history of requests; and/or
• act as a cache.
• Most companies that allow their employees to browse the Internet and several large dialup providers do so through a proxy.
