== THe only thing that differentiates a "PC" from a "workstation", so far as
== I can tell, is...
=that a PC still holds on to philosophies expressed in an 8-bit age while
=living in a 32-bit (64?) age, against the "eagerness" with which
=a workstation is equipped to make use of the newest technologies.

Personally, I find it difficult to call something running MS-DOS with
a fairly low-res screen a workstation.
