We too relied on having Common Lisp on our NeXT machine. Without it,
we are severely restricted and can no longer run our AI system on the
NeXT. Ports to other languages or even other dialects of lisp are
simply not plausible at this juncture. Without Common Lisp (preferably
Franz's), we will have to move completely to our SPARC'S, even for our
music research.

(EVEN our MACII's have a decent common lisp- the
 Allegro Common Lisp originally sold by Coral but now under the Apple aegis)
