This is a Local Commercial (Peoria IL) from 1983 or early 84' I forget. The Lisa is the first commercial computer with a GUI, or Graphical User Interface. Prior to the Lisa, all computers were text based - you typed commands on the keyboard to make the system respond. Now, with the Lisa, you just point-and-click at tiny pictures on the screen with a small rolling device called a 'mouse'.
Officially, "Lisa" stood for "Local Integrated Software Architecture", but it was also the name of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs' daughter.

  • who started using a mouse with 2 buttons? the other one is for right clicking. is it apple? NO..

  • @dx3100 That would have been Commodore with the Amiga 500 but what do I know I use a 4 button Microsoft Mouse on my Mac.

  • I hate that Apple talked about the mouse like they invented it. They didn't. idk who did though X3, I just know apple didn't.

  • @jebug29 You do realize that this is not an Apple commercial it was buy a local dealer in Peoira IL at a time no one had a computer avalible with a mouse. LIGTEN UP PEOPLE AND PAY ATTENTION.

  • @Ozz1317

    This came out 2 years before Windows. Windows 1.0 was released in 1985.

  • Lol Xerox totally screwed themselves over on that one XD

  • macintosh start up sounds are sooooooo scary

  • Ah, yes, the Xerox Alistair...

  • @lomomusician haha horror film?? I hardly see this is a horror film with that tiny, adorable little woman appearing in the video! She looked like an angel lol

  • @DYLAN102001 The Xerox Alto was never sold… Xerox had no idea what to do with 99% of the tech they invented at PARC…

  • The first computer to use a GUI was the Xerox Alto from 1976, so not all computers were just text based, unless your talking about the cheaper kinds.

  • Oh my god, this music makes it so scary :O

  • lol, unlimited expandability...try sticking in an 8GB ram in that!
