![]() ![]() The Lisa user interface takes a bit of time to get used to, as its terminology is a bit alien, and some things feel quite a bit arbitrary from our modern, harmonised perspective. Setting it up is remarkably easy (there are non-hqx Lisa operating system files too), but do note that technically, you need to own a Lisa yourself in order to use the ROMs. It’s open source (GPL) and available for Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X. Luckily, there’s a very advanced Lisa emulator available, written by Ray Arachelian. It was a flop, but many of its ideas carried over onto the Macintosh, and in fact, Macintosh development took place on the Lisa.ĭue to the fact few Lisas were sold, it’s hard to get your hands on a working model, meaning most of us will never get the opportunity to actually use one. ![]() I’m more or less assuming all of us are familiar with the Apple Lisa, Apple’s and Steve Jobs’ first attempt at turning Xerox PARC’s work into a marketable product. ![]()
