The main difference between a workstation and a PC is the extra amount of money you pay for the vendor's marketing and sales departments to convince you that you have purchased a workstation and not a PC. The minor difference is that workstations run much less software which costs more than PC software. Almost no cool games run on workstations. Also you can't buy workstations at Sears, although you can buy workbenches. -- Parag (I have a Mac) Patel <parag@netcom.com>
