An Apple Lisa, named after Steve Jobs daughter. I believe that it is a valuable collectors item these days. en.wikipedia.org

I wonder if anybody else on this board remembers the Lisa. I remember LIsa! We met in King's Cross!

I remember the Lisa well. A project I was involved in with Martin Marietta acquired one as an experimental and development tool. It's concepts were too new at the time and while it attracted a lot of attention at first it eventually fell into disuse and the project stayed with the IBM PC. I had little appreciation at the time of just how dominant the graphical user interface (GUI) would become.
