There used to be a distinction between the 'pc' and the workstation
some years ago, this is now all gone.

nowadays, one can get a 'pc' that is more powerfull than the most powerfull
workstation few years ago, and more powerfull than a mainframe
or a 'mini' computer few years ago also. 

nowadays one can also buy a Sun workstation for just about the price
of a 'pc'. Actually, it is impossible to know these days what is the
difference between a 'pc' and a workstation.
