The Evening Post: Lisa: Steve Jobs’ Sabotage And Apple’s Secret Burial
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 Stev

Planned obsolescence, and why Apple dumped thousands of working computers in a landfill.

There's a really interesting documentary up by The Verge that's a must-watch for anyone with an interest in the circular economy and tech waste.

It tells the story of how, early in its existence, Apple used to resell the working but obsolete computers that it couldn't sell to a distributor (who would sell them at a lower price).

But one day, that all changed. Apple decided to reclaim thousands of the still working old computers from the distributor, and dumped them in a landfill.

(For people with an interest in retrocomputing and Apple, it also tells the sad story of what ended up happening to the company's Lisa systems.)

Planned obsolescence is not an accident. It's a design choice.

Oh, that brings back old memories... an old, used Apple LISA was my first "real" computer in 1989, after many years of Sinclar, Commodore and Atari ST home computers. I was much more in love with "LISA" at that time than with girls who were interested in me... nerd then, still nerd today.

@jbigham Yes, it is great to use&feel <sic!> this computer with an early desktop GUI.
Which metaphors have changed? Some interactions have, but which metaphors compared with desktop systems of today?

The worst difference has happened just 1 year later in 1984. While LISA is document-centred, the Macintosh is application-centred. This made the interaction paradigm significantly weaker for decades to follow.

“Inside the flop that changed Apple forever” by The Verge is a loving look at the #AppleLisa. 10 mins, nice trip into the not so distant past of computing!

Apple Lisa – 40 Jahre später
Apple Lisa war 1983 eine fehlerhafte Designrevolution. 40 Jahre später haben viele den Vorgänger des Macintosh vergessen. Ein YouTube Video zeigt, was Lisa 2023 noch kann.

Die Designsprache der Apple Lisa ist die ästhetische Sprache moderner Computer. Es war einer der ersten Computer, der als Desktop bezeichnet wu

A Swiss IT manager’s 500-piece vintage Apple collection is going up for auction

The Lisa is listed with an estimated price of up to $20,000.

I wish LisaList2 was on groups.io instead of being some terrible web forum. Then the people who can’t handle mailing lists could use the web forum interface, and everyone else could treat it as a mailing list. #AppleLisa #retrocomputing

Someone really needs to put together a Language Service Provider for Clascal to make exploring the Lisa source code even easier with tools that support LSP like BBEdit and Visual Studio Code. (I’d do so myself, except I wouldn’t be able to share it without jumping through a bunch of bureaucratic hoops.) #retrocomputing #AppleLisa

More on Lisa! At VCF East 2021, Jason Perkins gave an in-depth demo of the Apple Lisa, and for the 40th Anniversary he's put together a new recording showing how it was designed to be used with great video and audio quality:

I wrote another post about Clascal, this time about its evolution into Object Pascal, since I haven’t been able to find Larry Tesler’s “Object Pascal Report” online. http://eschatologist.net/blog/?p=335 #retrocomputing #applelisa

The "HAPPY 40TH BIRTHDAY LISA!" event at The Computer History Museum was absolutely incredible! Most of the original Lisa team was there, too!
