My Apple Lisa 2

[blakespot]

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.

Drool. That thing beats the shoz outta my PowerMac.

Aww, I love the shot of Lisa with friends. What good company for an amazing machine.

Lisa is classic big iron / aluminum!

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 totally outruns the Lisa 2.

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