Changes

All of these elements are illustrated in [[:file:a-development-geology-workstation_fig1.png|Figure 1]], except for the remote mainframe, which may not be present at all. Great variability is seen among various installations; for example, laser printers can be connected to a dedicated print server on the network rather than directly to the PC, and digitizing can be done directly into the PC. In some cases, color graphics terminals directly connected to the minicomputer are still in vogue, but these are largely being supplanted by PCs running terminal emulation programs instead.
