  I'm a loser. Also, Creeper. And a woman.

  I just imagine Mr. Game & Watch tripping instead. >_>

  It doesn't serve us any apparent purpose except as an artifact of internet history. The only benefit of keeping it up seems to be the ad space and company publicity.

  ⚠ THIS MACHINE KILLS FASCISTS

  The company itself doesn't even really exist anymore. Remember that DARPA funding for AI I mentioned in the Garfield Minus Garfield thread? Symbolics was one of the beneficiaries (they built a commercial version of the MIT LISP machine, which was in turn based on the DEC PDP-10), and after that funding was pulled, Symbolics stopped being a thing pretty quickly, despite an effort to move into other fields such as computer graphics. (They're also, indirectly, one of the reasons Linux and BSD exist now; Richard Stallman's annoyance with them forking MIT LISP and Macsyma and closing the source led him to create GNU.)

  
  

  Last I heard, it had pretty much been reduced to a single tech guy in the Virginia suburbs, servicing the few systems left in government use and selling the occasional NOS machine to the dangerously curious. They sold the domain because the shell company's owner died and I figure they needed the money.
