Personally, I think DEC pretty much invented the
workstation...
Actually GT40's were pretty much early cad stations for pc cad
(Racal-Redac) had some pretty good software on them.
Wasn't the PDP1 pretty much an engineering workstation with Vector
(rather than raster) based CRT.
Yep and most of the later machines also had similar display systems
or better.
Apollo and Sun were pretty much an alternative to the
higher
priced Vaxes with add-on graphics like the VSV11 unit.
Untill DEC caught on then the workation wars were on.
