Release date January 19, 1983
This was a very early 'mass introduction' to a system that had a graphical user interface, icons, pull down menus, and a rodential input device called 'a mouse.'
The first consumer computer with a WYSIWYG (What You See Is What You Get) display, a GUI (Graphical User Interface), and a mouse, its $10,000 price tag made it anything but successful. Only 11,000 original Lisas were sold.
Lisa had a whopping 1 MB of RAM, an unprecedented amount in an age when PCs could use at most 640 KB. That’s also more RAM than any Mac would have until the Mac Plus arrived in January 1986 – three years later.
