       SYMBOLICS, INC. ASSETS BOUGHT,

       FOUNDER HEADS NEW COMPANY [...]

   Almost as surprising as the announcement, is the lack of any comments
   about it; although there is little hard information to comment on.

   Any speculation about what this will mean?   Or about what the most it
   _could_ mean?  Can an Open Genera really make it back into the world?

Most of the long-time Symbolians here are still shaking our heads,
presumably in amazement.

   It comes at an `interesting' time, as it is time here to decide about
   maintenance renewals, and also time to decide about a replacement/backup
   workstation/PC.

Well, get Harlequin LispWorks, of course!

Seriously, I can't make specific recommendations to you or anybody
else in your position, except that you should look carefully before
leaping.  Note that there are lots of ex-Symbolians at Harlqn who
understand your concerns, and I think some of that is reflected in
some of the things Harlqn is doing.
