Subject: RE: Apple Lisa 1
Yes, I saw that, but unfortunately it does not breakdown the number into
how many of each model sold. We're still after the actual number of the
first production Lisa computers with the Twiggy drives sold so we can try
to guess at how many may still be left.
It does, but maybe I could phrase it better:
" 3rd and final problem was that there was little software available other
than Lisa Office System 7/7 which contained the aforementioned applications.
She also took ages to boot. Things were helped with the ProFile external
hard drive from the Apple 3, which could store a whopping 5 MEGABYTES of
data....hell of a lot in those days....but not by much. *Only 10,000 were
sold*."
and:
" They also slashed the cost to $3495 according to the bumf I've got here,
or $4495 if you wanted the 2/5. It must've worked because Apple sold upwards
of 80,000 machines. "
I think the 70,000 I was talking about was Sinclair ZX80s!
cheers
