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.
