(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.
