A "cluster" is also a chunk of memory on a harddrive. Roughly defined,
it's equal to the minimum chunk an OS can use for files, folders, etc.
Its size is variable, depending upon upon the operating systems, the FAT,
and often the size of the HDD partition. Some techies can give a more
precise definition. Also, this idea/def of a "cluster" has probably been
around for longer than "the bunch of networked PCs."
