Many Thanks for posting a link to this document!
Hmmm... so this legend was only a marketing
trick. Who could have know at that time?

I found interesting that this article starts talking
about the Quantel workstation.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantel_Paintbox
Look at this famous sample of work created
in a Quantel Paintbox:

Quantel tried, without sucess, to stop Adobe
from selling Photoshop. Just like Apple is trying
to stop Samsung (their hardware partner) and
many others Tech companies have tried in their
moment: IBM vs. Compaq...
