Hi

[Ken Tilton]

Time to resurrect The Road to Lisp? :)

Didier you remind me of how I ignored the MCL ads in the APDA catalog when
looking for sth better than C, until someone watching my public search
dope-slapped me on Compuserve and I saw the light. And I had prototyped my
project in Logo and tried porting it to ExperLisp!! Perhaps struggles with
the latter carried over. Glad we both completed our journeys.
