I question the 70,000 figure. I highly doubt Apple sold that many Lisa

Also, out of
the 70,000 or so Lisa 1s that were sold most of them would've
been upgraded to a Lisa 2 during Apple's free upgrade period, and %deity%
knows how many were tossed over time.
Now we got a number. I'd go for 5% as a bet, that makes some 3.5K (or
still 1.4 K if we just use Sallams 2%) ... now ther must be 99% of them
beeing trashed to come to Sallams 30 Units. I can't belive that. I'm one of the million nutters who wants one
and has done since
1983.....it's my ultimate machine, though truth be told I'd probably be even
more scared to turn it on than I am my Lisa 2 :)
Now that I can't agree on. What's a machine that you don't turn on?
A pice of junk metal!
Ok, given that I don't have the time to play with all of my machines
on a regulary base,but if I take one out, it will get powered up.
No mater if it's just a C64, an MZ80, or my KIM#1. It's one of the
reasons why I collect, I want to play around with all of the nice
toys I ever wanted to have.
