Is that an Apple computer behind him or an IBM Lisa? Um...LISA was an Apple product.

Looks like an IBM PC-XT on the left and a Lisa (or very early Mac) on the right.

The Lisa was an Apple product, but that is a Mac behind him.

In '83 Microsoft was working on MS Word for the Mac, before moving it to DOS.

It looks like an old IBM that we used have.

Looks like an early Mac. I know if it was 1983, it must have been just before the release on the Mac in January 1984. I do remember playing around with a Mac in December 1983 when I was in high school (one of the teachers had connections) before it was released. Maybe Gates got hold of one of those early releases, if my teacher could get a hold of one, even a 1983 Bill Gates would have some serious connections to get his hands on one.
