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 !
