I have two 3640s and a 3650, and would very much like to get some of these
parts as spares, but I'm in Canada, which makes picking them up at
Stanford difficult. I'm interested in finding someone willing to help me
pick up some of the boards. Here's the deal: I'll pay shipping and a small
fee. Please e-mail me ASAP so that the logistics can be arranged.

Thanks to all who responded to my request for commercial off-the-shelf
Lisp environments comparable to Symbolics' Genera. The concensus was
Franz' Allegro Composer and Harlequin's LispWorks would be most suitable.

I have another question. Are there any Lisp based WWW browsers available?
I believe there is some work being done on Lisp based WWW servers at MIT
and Stanford. Anybody have any pointers to this work?

thnaks,
jpl
