	We all spend time with strange people for New Years..
 
	So I'm trying to explain to a friend who has just bought a 
	new Gateway system (dx2-66, lb ATI ultra @ 1024x768, running
'	OS/2) what a workstation is (he asked, because I was discussing
	the schools computer lab and used the word), and, well.. 
 
	Can anyone give me a definition of workstation, other than 
	cost, that seperates it from modern high-end PC systems (in his
	case, one that cost no more than $3500).  

	At first I was tempted to talk about UNIX or RISC, but these
	were less than satisfactory (UNIX because he could be running
	UNIX, and RISC sounds deficient--those old M68k based Suns are
	still workstations...and then there's the 386i...)..
 
	Anyone?  Come to think of it, it's pretty muddled to me, too.
