Vince ,

  True.
  However it is often the case that a coporate  " mythology" or lore
often emerges after the fact.
  The basic problem is that after a while   aka Dilbert the mythology
comes to be believed as fact.
   By digging around sometimes you can find the information to dispute
the commonly held mythology which by this time is  never questioned.
  Still it is an amazing coincidence that the program is called Lisa ,
was for an Apple product predates the  Lisa / Mac computer .
    If the firm was still in business when the Lisa was released  Apple
would have had some difficulty in copywriting the name .

                                                              What do
you think
