BTW, I just picked up a coffee-table book called
"Apple Design" which
shows a lot of pretty pictures of Apples and Apple prototypes. The Lisa
appears to be the only machine whose product name matched its project
name. Apple seemed to be into girl's names at the time. The Apple ///
was developed under the project name "Sara." Who was Lisa named after,
anybody know?
The Lisa was named after the daughter of Steve Jobs, Lisa Nicole.
Officially, Lisa stood for "Logical Integrated Software Architecture."
The names of females, usually family of Apple employees, were often used
to code name projects at Apple in the late 70's/early 80's.
