<p class="MsoNormal"><font face="Arial" size="3"><span
style="font-size: 12pt; font-family: Arial;">You're in the right town
for that. But Lisp Machines are a
big topic area. That's kind of like a talk on "the C language and
things
it has been used for". And the communities started off the same and
then
diverged into different cultures such that everyone's reality was not
even the
same. But even glossing that, there are issues of operating system,
editing
environment file system, editing tools, mail reading, patching tools,
marketplace, etc.<o:p></o:p></span></font></p>

I could give an overview talk. If there's interest in specific areas,
we could always<br>
find people to do other, more specific talks.<br>
