WP says the Terak 8510/a was the first graphical

out in 1976-77 and ran the UCSD p-System. I had never heard of it
before. The first *personal* workstation (non-graphical) was probably
the IBM 1620 (aka the CADET system, "Can't Add, Doesn't Even Try")
from
1959.
Mmm... Would a GT-40 connected to a PDP-11/40 count as a workstation? I
started using that around 1975 (along with serial terminals, of course),
in my first job at Uni of NSW (after graduating from there).
