July 1979. This seems to hint at future graphical workstations,
but the concept has not settled.

March 1980. The SUN workstation seems to be designed. However, it's a
multi user machine with up to 16 displays, rather than a single user
workstation.

January 1981. Still a work in progress. Number of display is down
to two for a "VLSI workstation", or eight for a "terminal cluster".

March 1982. This is probably the final design with a single 1024x800
display.
