Though my first computer was a Commodore 64, given to me for my birthday in June 1986, I consider my first “real” computer my Apple Lisa, that I purchased from Sun Remarketing in December 1989. I loved my Commodore 64, but I never had anything else - cassette deck, disk drive, monitor, etc. My Apple Lisa however was a fully configured computer that I could do creative work on.

It was $1095, about $500 less than a comparable Mac Plus at the time (with external 20MB hard drive). For all practical purposes, it WAS a Mac Plus, but with a 12” screen instead of a 9” one. The Lisa is still one of my all-time favorite classic personal computers.

I thought it would be interesting to interview the guy behind the company, and the products, and it is very interesting. You should give it a listen.
