What is happening in the lisp world?
The two biggest lisp vendors seem to be taking a dive.

(1) a major hardware vendor is shutting down its in-house lisp group.

(2) Symbolics stock closed tue at 13/16, which gives a total market
    value (2.5*10^6 shares) of $2,030,000
    Note: the assets of LMI were sold out of bankrupcy in June of 1987
    for approximately $2,300,000 (inflation adjusted to 1991 dollars).

Of course Xerox got out of the lispmachine gig a while ago.
What is happening at Texas Instruments?
