What's the difference between a workstation and a PC? I think the line is fuzzy. Five years ago you could point to Suns and say "Work station" and point to 8088/80286 PCs or Mac Plusses and say "PC." I don't think you can quite do that anymore. Some "Workstations" are becoming cheap enough that they can be thought of as high-end PCs. Some PCs and Macs are becoming powerful enough to be called workstations (MAC II CX, 25 and 32 MHz 386 and 486 machines). What's the NeXT? Both. Either.
