We had lisp on the amiga, bur I never really got on a first name basis 
with it. My biggest dissapointment was losing ARexx when the amigas last 
hd died. I'll never forgive those two clowns that destroyed the amiga.  
They conned William Hawes into doing ARexx, and never paid him a dime.
Now that was an os looking like a language and I was blown away when I 
found that Rexx/Regina wasn't even a castrated version of ARexx.  The 
amiga didn't have a cron, so Jim and I wrote one, in ARexx.  It didn't 
have a heyu, so we wrote one, in ARexx, called it EZHome since we'ed 
called the cron EZCron.  We were I think, the first tv station to put 
the news on our web page, and we, Jim Hines and I wrote the web server 
in ARexx with some help from the still in diapers back then php.

But like you, I digress.
