I think I could take a shot at giving an overview talk about Lisp machines: why they were thought of, how they fit into the context of the time, and a quick overview of the software and enough about the hardware to generally explain why they were "Lisp machines". I can do this without getting into "political" issues of the schisms and such. We could always have future talks focusing on more specific aspects, if people are interested.
I'd certainly appreciate hearing your words on the topic, Dan. --Jeff
