  • Seems like took till 1987 to get to this on the Windows platform.

  • Oh, I just remembered something- opus was the codename of the lisa.

  • 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!!!!

  • I'd love to have this guy's job, I can do it in 5 minutes or less!

  • how visionary is Stevo!!!

  • 0:38 THAT FACE.

  • Yay iwin

  • wow for that time...amazing

  • Good'ol times =/

  • Very basic, and only does work...reminds me of Windows 7.

  • "How the Power of Lisa can work for 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.

  • ''It's from Apple it must be good.''

  • 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

  • @retrogamer1985 yeah, I know. It's as dull as dishwater, but strangely compelling, #LOL

  • "How about bold?" LOL!

    It is like a little Hitler doing this demo!

  • wow, Bold??? impressive! :-)

  • Wow. I need to get one of these!

  • this is so boring its awsome :D

  • spettacolare

  • Its great seeing how functions that are common place today were so advanced back then

  • 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!

  • lol he's THA man

    with the strong darkened voice (80's oldtape sound lol)

  • Hahaha I love how he types.

  • Comment removed

  • All we need in the office is a lisa. Just 1 or 2 lisas.

  • that word processing program is powerful even in today's standards!

  • Can it produce Color? No? Then shut your nostalgic mouth.

  • How nessisary is colour?

  • Necessary enough for us to develop it during our evolution.

  • i miss thous times) i was not really born in 1983, buut... i miss the 90s with it's WIndows 95, Corel 7 and Quake 1 ))

  • HAHA... it looks like vista ultimate!

  • lawl

  • ROFL...

  • for 1983 and now it is not to bad but i would only pay up 2 600 dollors for it

  • Slow RAM. I guess its pretty fast for an old computer!

  • wow this is cool

  • It's obviously from 1983.

  • 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.

  • yay it ran ms office, what else, um, calculator! um, clock,,,,

  • Comment removed

  • lol duh? its from the 2000's. this was from 1983.  ur a retard

  • 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.

    What was your point?

  • the dude said that notepad 2 is stronger than lisa's program. no shit, theyre 20 years apart from each other.

  • Ahhh.. After i have watch this, i must start up my Macintosh Classic and play some nice hight quality games.. ;)

    (I have uppgrade it from 1 mb to 4 mb in ram, so it runs faster than my Amd 4000+!)

  • Okay, okay - one last:

    How is lisa called with a build in web cam? - HAL ! :P

  • Eh ?

    How is 'LisaWrite' gay ?

    And really what Microsoft had back in 83' was just a black screen with green writing....

    If Apple hadn't of come out the Lisa in 83' or the Macintosh in 84', Windows would have not existed for at least 10 - 15 years.

  • what makes you think that

  • because Bill Gates worked for Apple for a period of time, if Apple didnt create a GUI desktop then Bill Gates wouldnt have either

  • that is just wrong.where do you have this misinformation from?gates NEVER worked for apple! the idea alone should be worth a research before you write that bs.a yr after he dropped out of harvard he founded microsoft in 1975.6 years before windows even came out!do you want to imply that he worked for apple while having his own company?apple and ms both copied their gui from xerox after both tried to buy it from them.apple was just a little faster releasing their version.that's all there is to it

  • oops, posting accident

  • 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.

  • microsoft soo coped lisa calc microsoft just changed the name

  • any one else notice the programs have the same names as the current open office suite apps o.O

  • notepad is almost more powerful than lisa write

  • He types really slow... with two fingers.

  • is this the first computer EVER!!!!

  • Nope first PC was in 1976/75

  • 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 but it's one of the first pc with a graphical shell

  • @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

  • @cassettiespagetie But it IS the first personal computer with a GUI like we know computers today.

  • @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.

  • @speedyj112

    The first was in the 1940's or 1950s. It took up a whole High School Gym.

  • He creeps me out.

  • @denosplace2: You can now see him every night on Jeopardy
