Lisa: Steve Jobs’ sabotage and Apple’s secret burialSabotage, hired goons, and a landfill in Utah: this is a story about the life, death, and afterlife of Apple’s most pioneering flop, the Lisa computer. How it inspired generations of computers to follow; how Steve Jobs championed it, then turned against it; and how an outsider gave it another chance…before Apple closed the door on the Lisa forever. #apple #LISA https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rZjbNWgsDt8

@stux saw the name in some old book about computers, alongside Apple III as another flop.

@stux I was fortunate enough to have used the first Lisa in Minnesota. Very much an important stepping stone in the evolution of desktop systems. We had a big old Corvus 80MB(!) drive hooked up to ours - cutting edge!

@stux my mom still has hers and it still works. AAMOF, she wanted to name me after it, but my dad put his foot down.🤦♀️😂She used to say that the LISA would pay off my kid’s college tuition. Thankfully, I’ve got that taken care of. Maybe one day I’ll get to play with it again.That computer is the sole reason why I love Apple so much, nvm that my mom used to tell me stories about it, so I can understand her in a way.
