Before seeing this, I completely forgot how much printers and word processing programs sucked until recently. Dot matrix printers (even the ones who printed in letter quality) were slow, noisy and printed like crap. And the word processing programs were enough to make you want to tear your hair out because what was on the screen never matched what was going to be on the printed page.

@collegeman1988 Progress is a wonderful thing. 16 MEGABYTES of slow RAM was $600 in 1992 - What'd you pay for your last SD card?

So they gave you $2500 of credit, but the base Lisa was $9,995....?

OMG, the Lisa must have been unbelievably uncomfortable to stare at for hours without propping on the whole computer to eye level.

I wonder if you'll ever be able to watch movies on a computer one day?
