I look at the interlisp effort, being reworked.. So would be really difficult to setup a public/no-profit startup/company to bring up all the stuff, and coordinate all the people involved? maybe even a new hw can be made again.. Probably the real problems arise from different opinions between owners and former employees about the future and possibilites of the technology? But this story everytime make me think at the billions of lines of code leaved in the dark (or in the reels of 9inch tapes), representing so many years/man of work, developed and debugged, only to be forget and sometimes reinvented, some better it's progress of course, and may times only worse, reinventing the wheel every time. Even this is a form of waste/pollution?
