> - Computer platforms on which you're using or deploying Lisp:
Mac OS X primarily, Linux, Solaris, Windows

> - Number of years of experience with Lisp:
Three. I'd like that to be more!

> - Do you use Lisp:
> - at work (if so, how much)
N/A
> - for study (if so, how much)
Yes, all the time
> - as a hobby (if so, how much)
Yes, all the time

> - Are you using Lisp as much as you would like to?
> If not, why not?
No, not enough hours in the day

> - Do you see any obstacles to further Lisp growth (if so, what
> is the biggest obstacle in your opinion)?
I'd like to echo what Christophe said, and add that we need more documentation!

> - Would you be interested in a Lisp-related job or contract work?
Yes.

> - Is your organization interested in hiring Lisp programmers?
N/A

> - Are you currently participating in Lisp-related meetings?
It's hard not to have lunch with a fellow CS student at IU and have 
them not be a Schemer. We don't have a formal LUG/SUG, however.

> If so, where and how often?
> If not, would you be interested in such meetings?
Sure!
