Now I understand why they say microsoft copied everything from Apple. Steve took the idea and concept of GUI, mouse from Xerox, but Bill Gates copied apple and he had a luxury of IBM clones flooded in market. Wikipedia tells me "The original AppleWorks was one of the first integrated office suites for personal computers, featuring a word processor, spreadsheet, and database merged into a single program." Robert lissner was unlucky he didn't get the credit he supposed to have got.
RIP Steve Jobs 1955-2011, you gave us internet computers, laptops, ipods, and apple all together, Mac ALWAYS BE BETTER THAT PC, WE WILL NEVER FORGET YOU!!!!
This is a riot! He's telling us how well this computer can do everything, and I keep responding "I bet my MacBook Air could do it better..." (although a few times I thought 'I don't even know how to do this on OSX and the Lisa could!') It's funny to see them introducing all these things we take to be general knowledge as new. It's hard to believe that less than 30 years ago, the idea of a mouse and a word processor blew people's minds.
I ask myself if they call people dumb to tell them that the pointer is called "a box called mouse"... But if I would be in that time, it would blow my mind
show a person from back then what a top-of-the-line computer looks like today, and they would probably feint. They would be like "OMG WOW COLOR!" =O "OMG LOOKS AT HOW FAST THAT OPENS!!!" =O!!!! "OMG GAMES TOO?!!??!??!" =D!!!!!!!!!
@res1233 they had games, and things actually opened faster sometimes...we had alot of these computers :P...awesome little things....super cool....GO APPLE!
Yes, the man wore a waistcoat (suit vest), which was in at the time (late 1970s thru to about early 1984).
Men are starting to dress well again for office work, and I really like that. We have put away the sweaters and t-shirts, which are for non-working hours. I got tired of looking like I was in "nursery school" in the office (t-shirt, and shorts) when I was already 40 years old.
Lisa Write had many more functions than Notepad2. But what to expect, they are meant for completely different utilities. One is used for text design and general word processing and the the other is used for programming.

sorry i worded it incorrectly, by saying Gates worked for Apple i mean that he made most programs for apple like Office n that, and in 1997 both companys signed an agreement to have equal control of one another for 5 years n microsoft also helped apple get where it is today.
@livebabylive15 Bill Gates has never worked for Apple. Microsoft DID (and still does) create and license software for the Mac platform, because they are a software company, but that's it. Microsoft was working on its own GUI as early as 1982 and would have released Windows whether the Mac had been released or not.
@cassettiespagetie Doubtful, considering Microsoft began its work on a GUI in 1982, a year before Lisa was released.
Did Microsoft take some inspiration from the original Mac OS? Maybe, but to say Microsoft would not have released their own GUI for another decade is false. Microsoft's main issue regarding a GUI was whether or not they were going to sell it to IBM or just license it to them. They chose the latter.
And the first programmable computer ever was made in 1941. The first electronic one (not programmable) was made a couple months later, and the first programmable electric was made in 1948 (note it was just an improvement to another machine). Information gathered using Wikipedia.
@cassettiespagetie if you want be to be an ass and be technical, the first computer was probably back a few thousand years with the abacus lol. :-p, or we can go back further than that, our fingers and toes with monkeys
@speedyj112 Not even close. The Altair from 1975 is generally considered the first personal computer. The first computer to have a GUI was the Xerox Star, IIRC. The Lisa wasn't even Apple's first computer with a GUI. Although, interestingly enough, it was the first real personal computer to have protected memory, real multi-tasking, etc. It wasn't until Mac OS X in 2001 that the Mac OS would be anywhere near as powerful as the Lisa OS.
Seems like took till 1987 to get to this on the Windows platform.
