Say what? I'm always astounded that people think everyone knows all the acronyms for whatever field they're working in.

While I agree with this attitude towards obscure acronyms, SICP is widely known among those who voluntary enter a site called Hacker News, and it's easily searchable too.

By just googling 'SICP Scheme' the hints are pretty clear...

I forgot. You can do SICP over the web without installing an Scheme interpreter. The web has a complete enough Scheme interpreter to do and eval the whole book exercises.

Enjoy.

If you want something offline, I can help you to set Chicken (the interpreter), the depending libraries for SICP and Emacs in no time.
