| | Apple Lisa - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
| | The Apple Lisa was a revolutionary personal computer designed at Apple Computer during the early 1980s. | | | The Lisa project was started at Apple in 1978 and slowly evolved into a project to design a powerful personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) that would be targeted towards business customers. | | | The intended business computing customers balked at Lisa's high price and largely opted to run less expensive IBM PCs, which were already beginning to dominate business desktop computing. |

| | In spite the low success of Lisa, these computer is a milestone in the personal computer's history, perhaps not for the hardware design, but surely for his software. | | | Lisa starts with a double 5.25" floppies disk, strange floppy as you can see in the picture on the right. | | | Another particularity of Lisa was the presence of a serial number on the mother board that can be used to identify each Lisa on a net or to protect software. |

| | The Lisa is the first commercial computer with a GUI, or Graphical User Interface. | | | This 'Alto' computer was never sold to the public, and in 1981 the 'Star', which cost $17,000, was far too expensive and sold poorly. | | | This was an amazing advancement in a user-friendly computer system, but Apple didn't invent the idea of the GUI, it's difficult to say who did. |
