There is a commercially-available OODBMS product right now that...

is a product of Symbolics, Inc.  Its main drawback is that it currently
is only available for Symbolics computers.

That's interesting.  How does one build multiuser systems out of
Symbolics computers?

Rather that no one gave me the impression that they did.  Do they?
Would someone out there describe his production OODB and state how many
concurrent users access it?  How many are actively updating it on a
typical day?

Isn't it interesting that the first thing you do with your
color bitmapped window system on a network is emulate an ASR33?
