History of the Apple Lisa

Monday 21st October 2024Filed in: Tech


A great documentary by The Verge for anoyone interested in the history of Apple, particularly the Mac!

What's it about?

Sabotage, hired goons, and a landfill in Utah: this is a story about the life, death, and afterlife of Apple’s most pioneering flop, the Lisa computer. How it inspired generations of computers to follow; how Steve Jobs championed it, then turned against it; and how an outsider gave it another chance…before Apple closed the door on the Lisa forever.
