No, I just couldn't resist--your communication was clear enough.  ;-)

I am surprised that there haven't been better implementations of
Lisp since 1984.  I would expect a bunch of them on the PC,
incuding some excellent variants, such as Scheme, which also
has some wonderful texts.

BTW, I believe that MuLisp was actually a CP/M program, requiring
an Apple II with a Z80 card, or an equivalent emulator.
