I mean, emulators are nice and all, but in a choice between a emulator and the real thing i'd take the real thing. A real LISA is faaaar more valuable then a Emulator ;)
-
Maybe, but the cheap imitation is stored on my iBook, and the speed is artificially increased so startup, etc. doesn't take nearly as long as the real thing. ;)
-
But the real thing is better than a cheap imitation ;)

Funny, I've been wishing I could find a LIsa for years... turns out I'm better off with just the emulator.
Still pretty cool, even if you could grill a burger while waiting for it to finish booting...
-
oh my god that IS slow... we live in luxury nowadays!
-
In case you hadn't already found out, there is a Lisa emulator available out there, along with disk images for every bit of software ever made for it (admittedly that's not a lot).

Poetry in motion, though Office 2008 on a CoreDuo is about the same in performance I guess.
-
My WinXP machine takes almost this long to boot up ...
-
LOL! Either I guess.

(Let's try this again)
I have an on Lisa as well, but when the power supply burned out for the third time, I got tired of repairing it.
I also have one of those massive old hard drives that sits atop the machine. Should still have a valid install on it.
Any suggestions?

Suggestions as far as what? How to get it going again? Or how much I would give you for it? :)

The Lisa was one slow computer, even with its 8 MHz 68k processor. However, it beats in functionality the Macintosh, that was released a few years after, and it started a whole new era of personal computing.

Actually the processor is only running at 5 mhz, even though it is an 8 mhz chip.

Thats because the Lisa had too little RAM. The Mac worked just like the Lisa except it could onlu use one program at a time.

Not totally, the Lisa has a document centric file system whereas the mac (and almost all other computers) are program centric: you never open a program on a lisa. You just work with documents.
