I had one of the first Lisa Systems, forerunner of the MAC, from Apple.
It was a great machine that could do a lot of things. I think it had 4mb of memory that was later upgraded to 8mb.
It was expensive, $10,000 brand new.
My Dad had it in storage and gave it to me, I had all the orginal software and manuals. Ended up selling it on E-Bay to a collector. It still worked.

Ended up selling it on E-Bay to a collector.

I just checked Ebay and there’s a vintage Osborne now going for $199, “as is.” Apparently, it powers on, but seller who found it at a garage sale can’t guarantee it actually works. I think I’ll drag mine out of the attic and give it a go. I’m amazed what collectors are willing to pay for stuff. I don’t know what you got for your Lisa, but it probably wasn’t $10K! :-)

I had a Lisa. It was the first time I was “had” by Apple as well...

I still have an original 128K Macintosh. Every so often I boot it from a system disk and launch MacWrite. Its primitive by todays standards, but even after 27 years I still remember how cool it was in its day. It was such a thrill using that machine. I will never sell it.

I had a Lisa as well and I'm pretty sure I only spent that much because the compiler I was using for Mac stuff wouldn't actually work on the original Mac and had to be compiled on the Lisa.

Never had an Osborne but I met Osborne a couple of times, after the hardware and when he was doing Paperback Software. Seemed an interesting fellow.
