Happy BirthDay Lisa!

20 Years ago, Apple created Lisa to be the computer of the future, yet all the hype and Lisa web-sites around are stuck in the past. I hope to change that. With all the hype about the mouse and the GUI, two of the most important points of her design seem to be always forgotten:

She was designed to run multiple operating systems, Apple knew that the LisaOS may not be popular in 2002, so they left the door open for her to run newer OS's (like MacOS).
She was made to be hardware expandable: memory upgrades, additional ports, hard disks, and 3 expansion slots (with great ZIF connectors).
