Themes for discussion
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.
