Rumor has it there are a lot of Lisa's and Lisa spare parts in a landfill
somewhere in the bay area, d'oh.
I had 3 Lisas, but sold then many moons ago, couldn't justify hanging on to
3 $10K machines, when I could still get $7K a piece for them (back in the
mid 80's). They were the basis of an online real estate multiple listing
service idea that was just 15 years ahead of its time :-(
Did I also mention the idea I had back in '88 for a desktop copier /
scanner/ printer / fax all in one computer input output device for the home
office. I guess timing is everything. Now back to the salt mine.
