I agree with that.  But there is no point to your objecting to my posting
Lisa-related messages here, because I'm going to continue to do it.  So
what's your objective? This would have been quickly over and done with,
information imparted, except for the "you can't do that/yes I can"
exchanges.  By extending that after the impass was clear,  you are really
doing what you said I shouldn't do- post Lisa-related messages.

It's not the unsupported part. The Lisa is from '83, and appeals to the same
group of people who collect Apple II's and ///'s.  It could be considered
the Apple IV.
That, and the reality that it doesn't justify it's own group makes this as
logical a place as any to ask and answer questions.
So loosen up a little. It's not like Lisa questions will ever comprise any
significant portion of the newsgroup's traffic. (not including messages
complaining about Lisa questions/answers!)

Oooooo! I get to commit another transgression! Here's a good source of info
on 68K Macs.  They can answer any Plus question you might have:
