It???s a Sun-2 so it???s not really arguable whether it???s the first ever Sun workstation: It???s not.
Definitions tend to be RIGID, but completely arbitrary. "MEGAPIXEL" is nice, but enough to EXCLUDE 1024 x 800 ?
"First": The author is unaware of anything prior, or all prior instances were in some way uninteresting and unacceptable for the author's use. eg. "Apple2 was the first personal computer", "first book typed on a word processor", etc.
"Workstation": Any location where an oppressed worker is compelled to toil.
"Multimedia": Two or more Kodak Carousel projectors with a soundtrack. (college "DEFINITION", not "example"!, from half a century ago)
One day, our otherwise very dignified department chair came running into the student computer lab (3 dozen 386SX generic PCs), yelling "We're getting SUNS! We're getting SUNS! The loading dock just told me that there are three big boxes labelled 'Multimedia Workstation'!". Later that day, two of the three boxes arrived (the third had been pilfered by an administrator). They were fancy wheeled computer desks for the demo machines in our classrooms, to replace the vintage 5150 rolling standup presentation carts that had been the right height (projector should be taller than desk) and lockable.
