114:, Project MAC’s Director at the time, felt it would only be fair for the AI Group to share in this cutback thereby reducing the pain on Project MAC. Marvin and I with the support of IPTO felt that this was unwarranted. When Lick appeared too hesitant about leaving our budget alone, Marvin and I pushed for and received authorization from the MIT administration to split off from Project MAC and form the AI Lab. This is how I became a co-founder with Prof. Marvin Minsky of the 351:

Terman; Minoru (Min) Tonai (CFO); Daniel L. Weinreb; and Robert Williams. Twelve of the founders were MIT AI Lab affiliates & alumni and another seven were MIT graduates.

to the VAX, writing a version of Lisp for this VAX Unix, and porting Macsyma to his VAX Lisp. With this done, Fateman began distributing Macsyma in the famous Berkeley tape distributions which included VAX Unix. It was through this path that the academic world got its hands on a shared re-distributable Unix and ultimately ported it to numerous other platforms
129:. Since I had managed the AI Lab under Marvin’s direction, I offered the new Director his choice of my staying on as his manager, going back to engineering or leaving. He asked me to turn management over to his designated replacement and to stay on as a research staff engineer until I found something else interesting to do inside or outside the Lab. 196:

These computers would initially exploit tagged architectures designed to efficiently execute object oriented software and the Lisp language, and would incorporate hardware assisted garbage collection.
107:. Late in 1966, we received a funding commitment of approximately $ 700,000. This enabled us to build up a staff, expand inside Project MAC space, and take on a significant number of undergraduate and graduate students to conduct research on computer vision and manipulation. I mainly performed management and engineering tasks. 34:). Hard as those authors may have worked to get everything right, details were inevitably scrambled if only in minor ways. Hopefully this article offers answers to those who wondered. Some of the Lisp Machine development details were told to me and may require editing by those with first hand knowledge of that project. 212:

None of the other interested parties were willing to accept Greenblatt’s demands and he wasn't willing to compromise so we agreed to give him a year at the end of which time if he hadn't made progress in launching a spin-off, we would do it our way.

Fateman persuaded Bell Labs to license Unix to him along with a re-distribution license in exchange for porting Unix from the DEC 16 bit machines which Bell Labs was using at the time to the DEC VAX, one of the first powerful 32 bit computers. Fateman and his Berkeley group succeeded in porting Unix

Symbolics grew to annual sales of over $ 100 million by 1986, raised $ 90 million in equity financing and reached close to 1,000 employees before Moore’s Law passed us by.

In December 1979, because Greenblatt did not appear to be making headway, Jack Holloway and I met in LA to sketch out a business plan. Interestingly, Holloway said we needed a stand-alone full-custom single-chip 10 MIPS workstation to sell for $ 5,000 by the summer of 1984 and that we had to strike
