Limitations
- Genera only runs on Symbolics Lisp Machines or the Open Genera emulator.
- Genera supports only one user logged in at any time.
- There is only one Lisp system running at any time. Data and code is shared by applications and the operating system. (Though one can run multiple instances of Open Genera on one DEC Alpha).
- There is mostly no protection against changing the operating system. The whole system is fully accessible and changeable.
- Development effectively stopped in the middle 1990s.

Famous quotes containing the word limitations:
“The limitations of pleasure cannot be overcome by more pleasure.”
—Mason Cooley (b. 1927)
“No man could bring himself to reveal his true character, and, above all, his true limitations as a citizen and a Christian, his true meannesses, his true imbecilities, to his friends, or even to his wife. Honest autobiography is therefore a contradiction in terms: the moment a man considers himself, even in petto, he tries to gild and fresco himself.”
—H.L. (Henry Lewis)
“Much of what contrives to create critical moments in parenting stems from a fundamental misunderstanding as to what the child is capable of at any given age. If a parent misjudges a child’s limitations as well as his own abilities, the potential exists for unreasonable expectations, frustration, disappointment and an unrealistic belief that what the child really needs is to be punished.”
—Lawrence Balter (20th century)
