I was working at IBM in the 1980s when they came out with the term "workstation" -- many of us winced at such a terrible term and concept. They did that to market PCs to corporate customers. The term takes the machine from a place where you can invent and create to one where you simply toil. IBM chose the lucrative corporate customers in doing so, letting Apple fully own the "creatives" (artists, musicians, advertisers, ...).
