   A (computer) workstation is a machine that actually lets you get
your work done without excessive migranes. :-) Of course, this
definition varies, depending on what kind of work you are doing. If you
are doing data entry (or professional news-reading :-) then a
workstation can be a piece of antiquity like the HP 2621P I'm currently
using. If you are doing real-time 3D rendering, you might want
something a little more powerful. :-)

p.s. Anything running DOS is obviously disqualified since it is bound
to cause excessive migranes. (But then I'm prejudiced: I have to work
with them all the time.)
