(What should GNU ...) Message-ID: <20637@adm.BRL.MIL> Date: 17 Aug 89 12:39:46 GMT Sender: news@adm.BRL.MIL Lines: 8 Maybe we can focus the discussion if we ask about some interesting specifics: Is a SUN 386i a workstation? Why? or Why not? If I soup up a 386 PC (on an MCA or EISA bus?) when, if ever, would it be a workstation? What is an AT&T 7300? (No jokes or flames please! If IBM had made the original UNIX-PC instead of its MSAWFUL 8088 machine, we wouldn't be having this discussion).
