I acquired a refurbished Lisa 2 a year ago and it wasn't until just now that I got pics online...

Put together a little article here:

Thanks for the story and the photos -- the Lisa was (and, apparently, still is!) a beautiful machine.

Great project! Two of mine will probably never get rebuilt. 1 year is a fast Lisa project by my SLOW standards!

I doubt it, its running Lisa Office System(LisaOS) not a version of MacOS so there wont be a photoshop version out for it.

I'll let you off.

I loved school, well, it was damn funny. I remember once when I was about 14 I had red highlights put in my hair, and some kid (scrambling to find an insult) called me Kelly Osbourne... Fools.

:-) She's pretty slow. 5MHz 68000 and whatnot. My Mac Pro (http://homepage.mac.com/blakespot/My%20Mac%20Pro/My%20Mac%20Pro.html) totally outruns the Lisa 2.

I think it would be neat to see benchmarks compared to the 8mhz 6800 Macintosh 128k
