Yeah, what did those go for, like $10 grand?

Yeah looked it up - the Lisa retailed for $9,995.00. Equivalent in todays dollars to approx. $21,900.00.

Speaking of marketing, we're out of milk.

This is totaly my thread. In collage I studied the 8080 as a course. The first intel 8 bit prosessor. (difference from 8082 is mostly irq...remember irq?). Was a Atari ST kinda guy untill work forced me to buy a laptop 386 in order to program Allen Bradley SLC 500. That impressed me as a usable computer. and I have been a PC guy ever sence. Want to talk about cleaning silver contacts on a tellatype i am your guy. Paper tape been there done that. Memory paging oh ya babe. How about dropping your handfull of punchcards while standing in line at school to input your fortran program. Ya I did that a few times

I started with nothing, and I still have most of it

I'm not a complete idiot... Some parts are still on backorder.

I remember using an eraser to clean the gold contacts on cable connectors when they were not working well.

The damn kids realy need to stay off my lawn. Did you have a neighbor like that? I did and would tightrope the curb and just generaly try to tick her off. And if a stickball went in her yard, well its just over.
