Aucbvax.1619 fa.apollo utzoo!duke!decvax!ucbvax!DREIFU@WHARTON-10 Thu Jun 11 06:28:10 1981 Themes for discussion Some of the topics I would like to see discussed by this discussion list are:

o Definition of a personal workstation. o The IDEAL personal workstation. o Technical review of all participating machines where some accurate knowledge of the machine can be presented. o The introduction of personal workstations into large business. The question of operational logistics, transferring an application to a small machine. o Is the right answer to make the small workstation look like a very slow version of a large mainframe? o Example applications. o Trade offs in networking the workstations. Performance weighed against cost and overhead. o Some of the plans for introducing workstations in operational areas. o End user(s) of workstations, the application skewed machines. o User interfaces, factors.

------------------------------

There are but a few ideas. However one caveat. Facts are better than Flames. Please no flaming, that is the one thing this list is better off without.
