Lines: 24 I read in a recent article that many of the AI companies including Symbolics, of course LMI, Xerox, and software oriented companies were losing money. I can't find the article at the moment but I recall that Symbolics lost a great deal of money and that TI was the only Lisp machine producer that was semi-decent financially. I'll try to find the article and post the statistics, but I guess this explains the decline in Symbolics Stock. I wonder how the others are doing ! If anyone saw that article plese post it ! I can't remember the source but it was either an IEEE magazine, AI-Expert, or perhaps Digital Review ! Hany K.
