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.
