Thanks both of you...

I'd have to guess then that Apple is basing their information on what 
the machines are intended for, not what they're being used for by end 
users.  And they're probably considering stuff labeled as workstations 
as different than 'personal computers.'

I guess it's no different than someone using an IBM Power4 series 
computer for personal use.
