Agreed. However....
It would be interesting to scare up some Symbolics machines to do something or other - a demo at a meeting if nothing else. Now if one was pressed into service as a web server - not only would it be secure (heh!) but interesting and unique to boot.
Laugh if you want: there are COBOL-run and VAX-run web sites out there..... ;-)
Of course, can a Symbolics machine run anything approaching Common LISP? Might need some greybeard to work on it :-)
