I know somebody who was given a lisa a few years ago, but has the 3.5"

Needless to say, he feels a little nauseous right now.
I'll bet there are many similar woeful stories.
<groan> Yes. We gave a mint Lisa 1 (w/10MB ProFile) to one of our
employees after selling off a business in the early 90's. Had all the
docs, Lisa Office, you name it. Worked fine. Cost about $10k when it was
purchased new (~1983).
We thought he was doing us a favor by taking it <g>.
