Submitted by Happy 40th Birthday to Lisa! The Apple Lisa computer, that is. In celebration of this milestone, CHM has received permission from Apple to release the source code to the Lisa software, including its system and applications software.
More of this please.
Considering Apple Lisa computer is worth more than anything Apple currently offers. It likely makes sense to get this code in good shape and to fix some bugs.
You can buy an used apple Lisa on ebay for between 5000 to 12000 usd as of today. the top of the line M2 Pro macbook costs 8695 usd over here.
Depending on the condition and accessories. Apple Lisa can match any offering. In regards to price. From lower end offerings. Usually lacking in something. Usually still more expensive then an iPhone. To high end offerings. That can match or cost more then whatever the current Mac Pro customization offers. That is if you select the most expensive possible option for Mac Pro. It currently cost around 50k. Apple Lisa 1 was sold for more then that in the past. And while the price of suggested MacBook Pro M2 is expected to go down over the years. The opposite can be expected for Apple Lisa. 5 MHz ought to be enough for anybody.
