Subject: AI Workstations
[Forwarded from the MIT bboard by SASW@MIT-MC.]
A friend of mine at Stanford CAD group is trying to choose a lisp machine
for his lab. The candidates are: 3600, TI, Dandelion, and Tektronix.
If you know any pros and cons or any literature comparing these machines,
let me know. I would appreciate it.

determine the appropriate amount of staffing for fire
systems and has successfully predicted the area where a fire
will occur and its path and duration of travel.
