     A previous posting indicated that the total market value of Symbolics
was down around $2 million.  This is incorrect; there are about 25 million
shares outstanding, so even at their current penny-stock price of $0.44
per share, it would take about $11 million to buy out the entire company.

     Their numbers for the last few years show a steady decline, losses,
declining book value, declining income, and incipient oblivion.
