Birth of the Lisa
Another great article by Thomas Hormby at the Braeburn website. This time, an in depth look at the beloved Lisa. It begins:
"The Lisa project was initiated in 1978 to provide Apple's next generation business computer. According to the original marketing specifications, created in 1979, the computer bore little resemblance to the computer that was actually released several years later. It's major claim to fame was its inclusion of a bit sliced processor, but it became clear that such a processor would price Lisa well above the $2,000 goal that the marketers had set."
