- mgamache 4y agoSteve forgot about the real Lisa for years.
- DonHopkins 4y agoPoint taken. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lisa_Brennan-Jobs
- twoodfin 4y agoWhat’s impressive about the Macintosh is that the team delivered a GUI—including significant design refinements from PARC and the Lisa—on top of a $2.5K machine with 128K of RAM.
- KerrAvon 4y agoNonsense; who ever claimed that? And it’s not a knock on the Mac; if you ever have the opportunity to use an original Lisa and a Mac 128k side by side, you’ll observe that the Mac’s speed and UI improvements are pretty hard not to notice.
