July 1979.  This seems to hint at future graphical workstations,
but the concept has not settled.

March 1980.  The SUN workstation seems to be designed.  However, it's a
multi user machine with up to 16 displays, rather than a single user
workstation.

January 1981.  Still a work in progress.  Number of display is down
to two for a "VLSI workstation", or eight for a "terminal cluster".

March 1982.  This is probably the final design with a single 1024x800
display.
