		walterbell on Feb 6, 2016 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: J.C.R. Licklider on the History of Personal Workst... A few mins from the end of the video, he said he wished they had picked another name than "workstation". Then someone from the audience suggested a different name, which Licklider said would probably sell better. Can anyone make out that name?

P "something" stations, almost like "pleasurestation". Hard to make out.

You might be right—it would explain why Licklider replies by joking that it would sell better.
