<description><![CDATA[<b>COMPLETE APPLE LISA 1 COMPUTER SYSTEM -RESTORED, WORKS!</b><br />
From the description:<br />
"This system is an excellent example of Apple Computer's Second Rarest Computer, next to the original Apple-1 (1976).<br />
Only 20 to 30 Lisa 1 computers are known to exist in the world today. The Lisa was a landmark in computing history,<br />
being the first personal computer available with a mouse & GUI (Graphical User Interface). The release of this machine<br />
and the Lisa Office System to the public pre-dates Microsoft Windows 1.0 by almost 3 years!<br />
<br />
The Apple Lisa was the programming platform for the Macintosh, as they both use a Motorola 68000 CPU.<br />
The Lisa has 1mb RAM and a 5MB Hard Drive vs. 128k of RAM in the Macintosh.<br />
Mac OS 1.0 and most of the early Mac 128k programs were actually written with a Lisa.<br />
Apple offered Basic Plus, Pascal, and Cobol as programming environments for the lisa.<br />
<br />
PLEASE NOTE:<br />
This is a buy-it-now listing, meaning there are no bidders or bidding process.<br />
Don't miss your chance to own a Lisa 1!<br />
<br />
This Lisa turns on and passes all hardware tests. She boots up to Office System 1.0 (installed on the 5 MB ProFile Hard Drive).<br />
A Lisa screen CRT/screen is bright and crisp with no burn-in. The 2 Twiggy drives are in 100% fully working condition!!!<br />
Both Twiggy drives have been fully tested for both read & write capabilities. OS 1.0 installed from original Twiggy disks (not included).<br />
<br />
A LISA 1 IS EXTREMELY RARE BECAUSE:<br />
*It did not ship until July 1983, and was discontinued in January 1984 (6 months)<br />
*Its original cost in 1983 was $10,000 US (approx. $21,000 US in 2008 dollars) making it a hard sell to businesses<br />
*Apple offered all Lisa 1 owners a FREE upgrade to a Lisa 2 in 1984. Almost everybody went for this upgrade<br />
*Apple took back all Lisa 1 specific parts back from authorized service centers and had them destroyed/disposed of<br />
<br />
INCLUDED IN THIS AUCTION:<br />
*Fully restored Apple Lisa 1 Computer with 2 x working TWIGGY Floppy Disk Drives<br />
*Apple Lisa Keyboard with original pull-out cards (NEW/ OLD STOCK - unused, tested & working)<br />
*Apple Lisa Mouse - cleaned and tested<br />
*5 MB Apple Profile Hard Drive freshly erased with Lisa OS 1.0 installed<br />
*Lisa Anti-Glare silk screen for CRT<br />
*Programs installed: LisaWrite, LisaDraw, LisaGraph, LisaList, LisaCalc, and LisaProject<br />
*Office System 1.0 installed on external X/ProFile Drive<br />
*All necessary power & data cables<br />
<br />
NOT INCLUDED:<br />
*No Apple Mouse Pad (shown in pictures)<br />
*No Twiggy Floppy Disks<br />
*No Manuals<br />
<br />
CONDITION:<br />
All plastic panels, internal parts, and ProFile Hard Drive are all original to this computer. The mouse and keyboard have been replaced with better examples.<br />
This Lisa 1 was never upgraded to a Lisa 2! It has been carefully cared for all of its life. Plastics have slight even yellowing due to<br />
age and exposure to light. Absolutely no chips, cracks, dents, CRT screen burn-in, or any other damage can be found.<br />
2 light scratches and uneven yellowing (due to ProFile drive sitting on top. Mouse is more yellowed than other items, some wear (smooth spot) on mouse button.<br />
This machine is virtually flawless!! A true museum piece."<br />
