A
computer
in the standard form, usually in the "
terminal
" style, with
a
screen,
a
keyboard
,
a
mouse
, etc. Usually, these
machine
s are meant for
human
interaction
and therefor are usually
easy to use
and '
pretty to look at
' Very much unlike a
server
.

Its only in the last two or three years that
Microsoft
and some of their
Wintel
hardware
vendors (referred to internally by M$ as
"our bitches"
) started calling
PC
s "workstations"
Before that it was almost universally understood that a
workstation
Ran some flavour of
Unix
, almost always vendor specific (e.g.,
Sun
s
SUNOS
,
IBM
s
AIX
,
Silicon Graphics
IRIX
)
Had a pointing device more commonly called
a mouse
Featured a very
high resolution monitor
Hey! Come to think of it, that pretty accurately describes a PC these days!
BUT! Only a PC running - what else?
