Yes, and if you'd actually paid attention to what they were teaching you,
instead of whinging about commercial viability, you would probably be better
for it, especially the Lisp (although by the period you name, most of the fun
was gone, with Common Lisp and Scheme as the two surviving dialects).

Tell me about having to get work done on a 12K 1401, and maybe I'll listen.
In the mean time, get off my lawn, kid.
