5 years after the apple2 introduction they had another apple (the lisa)
so advanced that ... the computers sitting right now on our desks are
essentially "Lisas" only faster with a color screen more memory and
bigger hds.

If you were apple, you had made the Lisa, you had seen "the light", how
would you have thought that this slow memorytight osless
minusculeCrazyAndFragmentedMemoryMap 3-regs-cpu hack deserved any
respect ?

Only the sales were against killing the a2. Even a 1/4th the price vic20
was in fact a better machine by then.
