This in its day was earth shattering and 1984 was not that far back for me. I grew up using filing cabinets and adding machines that spit the paper out and would curl all the way to the floor. A huge general ledger book that was a pain to use... amazing.
This is a riot! He's telling us how well this computer can do everything, and I keep responding "I bet my MacBook Air could do it better..." (although a few times I thought 'I don't even know how to do this on OSX and the Lisa could!') It's funny to see them introducing all these things we take to be general knowledge as new. It's hard to believe that less than 30 years ago, the idea of a mouse and a word processor blew people's minds.
RIP Steve Jobs 1955-2011, you gave us internet computers, laptops, ipods, and apple all together, Mac ALWAYS BE BETTER THAT PC, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!
Yes, the man wore a waistcoat (suit vest), which was in at the time (late 1970s thru to about early 1984). Men are starting to dress well again for office work, and I really like that. We have put away the sweaters and t-shirts, which are for non-working hours. I got tired of looking like I was in "nursery school" in the office (t-shirt, and shorts) when I was already 40 years old.
I ask myself if they call people dumb to tell them that the pointer is called "a box called mouse"... But if I would be in that time, it would blow my mind
@speedyj112 Not even close. The Altair from 1975 is generally considered the first personal computer. The first computer to have a GUI was the Xerox Star, IIRC. The Lisa wasn't even Apple's first computer with a GUI. Although, interestingly enough, it was the first real personal computer to have protected memory, real multi-tasking, etc. It wasn't until Mac OS X in 2001 that the Mac OS would be anywhere near as powerful as the Lisa OS.
Not really. The first machine that could calculate all four arithmetic operations without relying on human intelligence was built in 1642. In 1801 Joseph Marie Jacquard improved the automatic loom by introducing series of punched paper cards to load different "programs" into the loom for different intricate patterns. The Zuse Z3, which was considered the world's first working programmable, fully automatic computing machine, was presented in 1941. So no, the Lisa was not the first computer.
@cassettiespagetie Doubtful, considering Microsoft began its work on a GUI in 1982, a year before Lisa was released. Did Microsoft take some inspiration from the original Mac OS? Maybe, but to say Microsoft would not have released their own GUI for another decade is false. Microsoft's main issue regarding a GUI was whether or not they were going to sell it to IBM or just license it to them. They chose the latter.
@livebabylive15 Bill Gates has never worked for Apple. Microsoft DID (and still does) create and license software for the Mac platform, because they are a software company, but that's it. Microsoft was working on its own GUI as early as 1982 and would have released Windows whether the Mac had been released or not.
Ahhh.. After i have watch this, i must start up my Macintosh Classic and play some nice hight quality games.. ;) (I have uppgrade it from 1 mb to 4 mb in ram, so it runs faster than my Amd 4000+!)
Eh ? How is 'LisaWrite' gay ? And really what Microsoft had back in 83' was just a black screen with green writing.... If Apple hadn't of come out the Lisa in 83' or the Macintosh in 84', Windows would have not existed for at least 10 - 15 years.
Its great seeing how functions that are common place today were so advanced back then

Oh, I just remembered something- opus was the codename of the lisa.

''It's from Apple it must be good.''
Necessary enough for us to develop it during our evolution.

Guys shut up, this paved the way for electronics today. Even if apple wasn't the first it sure perfected the personal computer!
the dude said that notepad 2 is stronger than lisa's program. no shit, theyre 20 years apart from each other.
@cassettiespagetie But it IS the first personal computer with a GUI like we know computers today.
how visionary is Stevo!!!
I remeber wathcing this video back in 428BC on my iRock!
@denosplace2: You can now see him every night on Jeopardy
@cassettiespagetie but it's one of the first pc with a graphical shell

Nope first PC was in 1976/75
Good'ol times =/

lol he's THA man
with the strong darkened voice (80's oldtape sound lol)
Seems like took till 1987 to get to this on the Windows platform.
oops, posting accident
EXPLODE ALL THE PIES

Microsoft used similar icons! What the hell are you talking about?
for 1983 and now it is not to bad but i would only pay up 2 600 dollors for it
what makes you think that
Ahhh.. After i have watch this, i must start up my Macintosh Classic and play some nice hight quality games.. ;)
(I have uppgrade it from 1 mb to 4 mb in ram, so it runs faster than my Amd 4000+!)
How many permanent?
Nope first computer was in 1859 ;-)
notepad is almost more powerful than lisa write
thats not true because apple stole idea of the mouse from xerox who stole original idea from douglas engelbart
Yay iwin
I don't give a shit. I like my Mac.
Eh ?
How is 'LisaWrite' gay ?
And really what Microsoft had back in 83' was just a black screen with green writing....

Very basic, and only does work...reminds me of Windows 7.
Ehhhhhh.... I disagree.
Thank microsoft for taking what apple did and not making it gay, i mean LISAWRITE? WTF!?!
WAESTPAPER BASKET? !?!? GAY
This is fake
