Apple's 1983 Lisa Computer source code will be available to the public

The Lisa computer, which stands for Local Integrated Software Architecture but was also named after Steve Jobs eldest daughter, was a flop when it released in 1983 because of its astronomical price of $10,000 - $24,700 when adjusted for inflation!

But in the grand scheme of Apple's history, the Lisa computer's software laid the groundwork for what was to be the macOS operating system.

Sometime next year, Apple fans will be able to relive the early days of Apple back when it was still a startup in Cupertino, California led by Jobs and Steve Wozniak thanks to Mountain View's Computer History Museum.

The Lisa was the first computer with a graphical user interface aimed at businesses fitting with it's high cost. With a processor as fast as 5 MHz and 1 MB of RAM, the Lisa computer gave users the breakthrough technology of organizing files by using a computer mouse.

Apple spent $150 million on the development of Lisa and advertised it as a game-changer with the likes of actor Kevin Costner in the commercials. But Apple only sold 10,000 units of Lisa in 1983 and pivoted to create a smaller and much cheaper successor, which we know as the the Macintosh, and was released the next year.

Amazing! We would maybe able to build emulators for Lisa!

I'm very interested in seeing those lines of code they wrote back then, and mainly how much of a spaghetti code it was.

Wow, this history here is my age! Wow, happy to know that Apple has stayed this long.

How time flies.
