* was the SUN-1 the first commercially successful p= roduct? What are the =E2=80=9Cit depends=E2=80=9D edge cases?
* we= re there common recipes for proto-workstations within academic or industrial= research? What did those look like, who was involved?
* What do I= really mean by workstation? Ex.gr. If an installation had a PDP-11 with a s= ingle terminal and operator, is it not a workstation? Is it the integration o= f display into the system that differentiates?
