see for example two Symbolics applications demoed:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RQKlgza_HgE

first demo is about Paintamation, a 2,5d paint and animation application

the second demo is demoing the 3d modeler and the 3d animation application

running on the Symbolics with a b&w console, a color screen & framebuffer, a Lisp keyboard and a pen tablet

All the code was written in object-oriented Lisp.

hehe, I rewatched this just two days ago, it's still very impressive. Had a symbolics relapse after finding about kaveh kardan involvment with them and his blog/snippets https://scribe.rip/@kaveh808/rediscovering-common-lisp-57f5c...

Completely unrelated, but I think "symbolics.com" was the absolutely first domain registered. Also thanks for the video :) :) :)

no quite, there were a few earlier domains registered. But it's the first .com domain registered.

More like created, registration process was not open.

Was there anything but the darpa domains and nordu.net before symbolics?

ah yes - thanks for the correction! It was the first .com indeed.
