I vote for Lisp too.  We use frulekit and other Lisp stuff.
With the new machine I hope NeXT would be able to
run CYC too.  Lisp and Obj-C together is cool.  Right now
it is a little hard to use (Sybase is hard to install and use
too.  Do you think these third party guys are doing a good
job or is it NeXT's fault here?).  Reminds me of Lisp on
a terminal.  I was looking forward to a Lisp development
environment.  But there is a price.  Is Franz Inc. asking
for something unreasonable?  I don't know that NeXT is
going to drop Sybase or Mathematica or Webster etc.
