Apple Lisa
From IEEE Bushy Tree
The Apple Lisa is a personal computer designed at Apple Computer, Inc. during the early 1980s.
The Lisa project was started at Apple in 1968 and evolved into a project to design a powerful personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) that would be targeted toward business customers.
Around 1982, Steve Jobs was forced out of the Lisa project, so he joined the Macintosh project instead. Contrary to popular belief, the Macintosh is not a direct descendant of Lisa, although there are obvious similarities between the systems and the final revision, the Lisa 2/10, was modified and sold as the Macintosh XL.
