macsyma on sale on ebay!



Heh - I guess David Schmidt is 71271.1417 on ebay.  Well, it's the
first active marketing I've seen from them since 1999, so that's gotta
be a good sign.  99 copies available after almost eight days...  I
guess there isn't a rush to buy $500 software with no hard copy
documentation!
 
Hmm, new spiffy website for http://www.symbolics.com too.  Looks like
anybody wanting to upgrade to 2.4 from an earlier version can do it for
$250.

I hope they start active development of Macsyma again - it would really
be a shame to have it remain static indefinitely.  Maybe they could at
least started digging out the Linux version from whatever server it's
sitting on and help some of those folks that can't use their older
purchased copies.
