Greetings. I am in the process of learning CL. It is a very enjoyable process.
I hope to attend the next meeting in Toronto to connect with other lispers. (I am in Burlington.) How active is the group?
I am a true old-timer in software/computing. I have know for years that I should turn to lisp. I am finally getting around to doing so. The experience is something like a religious conversion, I am pleased to admit. While lisp may not be the "one true way" it is starting to look like it to me.
My current learning environment is emacs + slime + sblc. This is a great combo, which I use primarily on my macbook but also on my Vista machine and under ubuntu. It seems to work pretty well on all three.
Eventually I will purchase a commercial CL product. I hope the group will provide some guidance in that respect.
Hoping to hear from y'all....

Greetings Dave,
The commercial "lisplementation" I've been reliant upon is LispWorks, so I could easily help you should you choose that route. One of our other group members, Paul, is also a LispWorker.
See you at the next meet.

Thanks Brian.
It has been a while since I used a mailing list. Do I reply to your email, the list email, or both (I am just now doing the latter).
