Summary: We're not talking about selling workstations to CMU.

We're talking about selling computers to people. Not corporations.

Individuals can't afford 20 grand for a personal computer.

A workstation is a graphically-oriented computer that doesn't keep you
waiting because you don't have a prompt (or because your cursor looks
like a wristwatch).

This requires multitasking. This does not require megapixel displays or
even megabytes of memory.

I agree, by the way. System V is a monstrous bogosity. Of course, 4BSD is
as well. Sometime between 1979 and now everything went to hell...

But at least System V is marginally smaller and it is supported by AT&T.
