Community Memory: Discussion List on the History of Cyberspace ______________________________________________________________________
Folks:
According to those who have really studied these issues (particularly Gary Chien, ex of IBM), prices for each "workstation" have remained remarkably constant from mainframes (lotsa desktops per machine) all the way through to PCs (one machine, one desktop). What has changed is the applications and, overall, the number of people who are computerized/automated in the workforce.
I've failed to find the price/performance articles from Dave Nelson and Gordon Bell (Gordon has no reference handy) and I'll have to track down Dave unless someone else around here either knows of the paper(s) or where Dave is to be found. Thanks.
