I don't know if the original poster was making a Famous Historical Allusion 
or not, but the phase "dickless workstation" has a long and venerable 
history.  I believe it was one of the heavy-duty gurus back in the halcyon 
days of USENET -- back when it was all passed from machine to machine by 
UUCP -- who inadvertently left the 's' off in a posting about diskless 
workstations.  From then on the phrase dickless workstations just plain 
stuck.
