The ultimate yak shave: to implement its last generation of , Symbolics developed a complete toolset in called NS that enabled them to design and verify their ASICs, gate arrays, and boards from architecture to photomasks for manufacturing.

Thanks to @jpreisendoerfer for scanning the article "The Design and Strategy" that was unavailable on the net until now.

We all love the Space Cadet keyboard (no? Just me?) but I've just found its successor and I much prefer it. Apparently the Square, Circle, Triangle keys are "infamous". Don't know why - more research needed!

Early-80's Symbolics commercials are hilarious. On the one hand, they appear to have defined all the corporate-speak of the late-90s a decade earlier.

On the other, they all look like British sitcoms.

I wish I could go back in time to be a fly on the wall and listen to why this seemed like a useful project at the time. My guess is it was meant to make the transition to LispM easier for some customers.
