Glorious panda switches. Way too expensive.

Screenshot of the black and white desktop of a 1980s graphical workstation environment. The desktop has a gray background pattern and several windows with a white background and a title bar with white text on a black background. The windows display Lisp source code, icons, scientific and business charts, a spreadsheet program, a virtual keyboard, and other graphical elements.

Some 1980s Xerox Lisp Machines came with an IBM PC/XT card that allowed running MS-DOS from the Interlisp-D environment, like the spreadsheet program window here. Image from a flyer of the Xerox 1186 AI workstation.

It's 1986 and you want to use Interlisp-D on a Xerox workstation. This primer will teach how to handle floppies, transfer files to a VAX, and more. Some material is obsolete but gives an idea of what a Lisp Machine was like.

It's crazy how advanced the graphics software on Symbolics LISP machines were in the 1980's before SGI kind of took over that space.

@screwlisp Thought you would be interested in this.

On the ex-Symbolics employees mailing list somebody posted a link to a "history of the Lisp machine".

It's kind of long and so I didn't watch the whole thing, but just skipped around a little […]

A few years ago, some students gifted me some beautiful keycaps.

I did not realize that was a 'thing'.

I have resisted temptation and only bought a few sets, an APL set and now this -

Now to find a good keyboard for them.

The greatest keyboard never sold WayTools’s TextBlade brilliantly compressed a comfy typing experience into a pocket-size device. Too bad it never actually reached the market.

Never used TextBlade myself but this article is worth reading both for keyboard designs/ideas, and the business story behind #WayTools. Can relate to chorded keyboards since the #CADR, #Symbolics #LispMachine were best ever exemplars of that approach that I've used ⌨ 🙂!
