      Unfortunately, I don't think Lispms can survive as long as they
    depend entirely on one person. I'm not trying to pick on Reti
    personally. It just that Genera is too big of a system for just one
    person to give the kind of support and nurturing that it deserves.

I completely agree that as a one-person company Symbolics isn't viable.
We are trying (and have been for some time) to get the resources to
put Symbolics back as a real company (with more employees).  When there
is something definite to announce, you can be sure it will be announced
here.
