It is cool but I wonder how many customers you get with a story that is 15 years old. The world has moved on. I did some really early Apple Newton development

I did some really early Apple Newton development work in around the same timeframe ('96, '97) and the early Newton development tools were also all written in Lisp. Probably Mac Common Lisp.
Not so strange of course since many people on the Newton team had a strong OODL (Object Oriented Dynamic Language) background. These are mostly the same folks with SmallTalk, Lisp, Scheme and Dylan experience.
Awesome times. But not much of it is left.
