Actually, they went back to Apple. I'm sure that there were some holdouts, but almost all of the Lisa-1s were upgraded to Lisa-2s and then to Mac XLs, after which they fell by the wayside. By 1988 it was nearly impossible to find a Lisa on campus. UofM's engineering labs, of which this was one, focused primarily on Apollo workstations during this period, starting with DN-330s and through the DN-4500s a few years later. While there were PCs and Macs, they were considered underpowered for the needs of the college, which was doing simulations and circuit analysis. The software and hardware of the "consumer" equipment weren't up to their requirements. -Mark On Feb 22, 2012, at 3:38 AM, Terry Stewart wrote:

The reason I can say that with high confidence is that's basically what happened to all Lisa 1 systems. Few owners didn't do the upgrades as they became available, and few kept the machines much beyond 1987.
