Re: WORKS Digest V2 #51
I don't understand your argument about the cost savings of your proposed
architecture.  Any interactive workstation is going to need "case, keyboard, CRT,
and other non-computer elements".  So the savings is strictly in (1) the extra
packaging not required for the processors and memories, and (2) the sharing of
the disk.  I don't see that making the difference between "less than $2K" and
$5K.  What did I miss?
