I've never touched lisp before.  I have read the odd AI article in the past, 
however.  

You must be doing some really interesting stuff, if you need to be carrying 
around a portable lisp development system.  I can't recall all of the times 
that I've been on the road and thought to myself, "Gee, if only I had a 
portable lighweight system for lisp development." ;)   Just kidding!

Are you involved with developing or implementing AI applications?
