Stanford Artificial Intelligence Laboratory
<body, education> (SAIL) /sayl/, not /S-A-I-L/ An important site in the
early development of LISP; with the MIT AI Lab, BBN, CMU, XEROX PARC, and the
Unix community, one of the major wellsprings of technical innovation and
hacker-culture traditions (see the WAITS entry for details). The SAIL machines
were shut down in late May 1990, scant weeks after the MIT AI Lab's ITS cluster
was officially decommissioned.
