What is the difference between a workstation, and a desktop. They look the same, so is it anything more than advertising?

The differences are a little more blurred than they used to be, but basically, a workstation uses higher end "professional" hardware.

It's never explained in the movie, it's just left to the imagination. I saw the movie numerous times & finally googled it one day to see if I could find the answer. There's a lot of theories out there about it but I think Tarantino claimed it was a "MacGuffin".

The explanation I liked best is that it was supposedly Marsellus Wallace's soul & he was trying to get it back. When you look at it that way, it puts a whole different spin on the movie.

True. That would explain the band-aid too. :)
