Jim Morris left PARC and went off to CMU and began talking up the idea of the "3M" workstation. One MIPs, One Megabyte of RAM, and One Million Pixels.The way I heard it, a workstation needed to have Menus, a Mouse, and a 1 MIPS processor. It also had a megabyte of RAM, at least a megabit LAN, a megapixel of display, and cost about a megapenny.
