Having not seen a post here for a long time, here's one apropos the Lisp CD that never really took off. Bill Clementson blogs about "Lisp with Batteries...
Alok, Thanks for your continued interest. I was disheartened in this group's discussion about putting together a Lisp CD-ROM because it seemed like our focus...
Hello all, ... Personally, I think a bootable CD is not a good idea.It is very difficult to work in an environment which boots from a CD. Emacs and friends...

Er, by `command-line-Lisp-startup', I meant the environment starts up from the command line. If someone can think of a good way to make a GUI-oriented startup...
... If you're targeting the people on this list, then I doubt you will find many people. You can have a quick poll on who here doesn't have everything on that...
Roshan, I seldom run across anyone who really even wants to look at Lisp -- even for a 5 - 10 minute demo. On the other hand, if I have a Lisp project going,...
i agree. the bootable CD is not a good idea. in any case, clisp can be easily installed on both windows and linux what i would like on such a CD is nice...

Alok, I appreciate your comments and like your positive spin on the reasons for you're getting few takers. ... Now I am really beginning to like the demo idea,...
