It's pretty obvious to putting vector and floating point hardware
in Silicon with products like the Weitek, but I was having a discussion
with a colleague about LISP machines, Intellicorp and all those
companies doing "AI."  What about putting CDR hardware into machines?
The colleague pointed out that SUN is the only company doing well in
this arena.  Agree or disagree?  Aren't Symbolics, TI, LMI doing okay?
