The Usenet Oracle has pondered your question deeply. Your question
was:
Sublime and non-pusilanimous Oracle, Please answer your
lowly supplicants query, and enlighten my small and
solitary mind, I missed the health education classes at
school. So tell me, dear Oracle, where do workstations
come from?
And in response, thus spake the Oracle:
Er, well, see, uhm, sometimes when two computers
want to uhm, you see... Sometimes when two machines
really love each other, they'll arrange... Okay, there's
this thing called networking, and it, well, uhm... And
then the technician comes along, but instead of gathering
pollen... (Gulp) and so you've got these two machines,
and this ethernet cable, so...
Oh, it's all too sordid. Go ask your mother.
