Hijacking this thread again...
I worked on an Apple Lisa for a while.
It was staggeringly exciting machine. I went to it from MP/M and was awe-struck with the leap in the interface.
I was a gorgeous machine to use and a delight to do development work on it. I haven't a clue what it was we were developing, but it never sold.
When I first used a computer (some form of Altair) I had an epiphany: I suddenly knew what I wanted to do with the rest of my life.
But the feeling I had when I saw the Lisa completely overwhelmed that. I couldn't believe such an immense leap from the command line to the intuitive Lisa interface was possible. It was, without doubt, the way the world was headed.
