🎄💾🗓️ Day 9: Retrocomputing Advent Calendar - The Apple Lisa 🎄💾🗓️

The Apple Lisa, introduced on January 19, 1983, was a pioneering personal computer notable for its graphical user interface (GUI) and mouse input, a big departure from text-based command-line interfaces. Featured a Motorola 68000 CPU running at 5 MHz, 1 MB of RAM (expandable to 2 MB), and a 12-inch monochrome display with a resolution of 720×364 pixels. The system initially included dual 5.25-inch "Twiggy" floppy drives, later replaced by a single 3.5-inch Sony floppy drive in the Lisa 2 model. An optional 5 or 10 MB external ProFile hard drive provided more storage.

The Lisa's price of $9,995 (equivalent to approximately $30,600 in 2023) and performance issues held back its commercial success; sales were estimated at about 10,000 units.

It introduced advanced concepts such as memory protection and a document-oriented workflow, which influenced future Apple products and personal computing.

The Lisa's legacy had a huge impact on Apple computers, specifically the Macintosh line, which adopted and refined many of its features. While the Lisa was not exactly a commercial success, its contributions to the evolution of user-friendly computing interfaces are widely recognized in computing history.

These screen pictures come from Adafruit fan Philip " It still boots up from the Twiggy hard drive and runs. It also has a complete Pascal Development System." …"mine is a Lisa 2 with the 3.5” floppy and the 5 MB hard disk. In addition all of the unsold Lisa machines reached an ignominious end."

What end was that? From the Verge -

In September 1989, according to a news article, Apple buried about 2,700 unsold Lisa computers in Logan, Utah at a very closely guarded garbage dump. The Lisa was released in 1983, and it was Apple’s first stab at a truly modern, graphically driven computer: it had a mouse, windows, icons, menus, and other things we’ve all come to expect from “user-friendly” desktops. It had those features a full year before the release of the Macintosh.

“Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”: el legado intelectual de Steve Jobs desde su archivo digital

El Archivo Steve Jobs ha lanzado una exposición digital titulada “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish”, basada en una de las frases más emblemáticas del fundador de Apple. Esta exposición no se centra en celebraciones tecnológicas ni en productos icónicos. Propone, en cambio, una meditación crítica sobre los valores que guiaron la trayectoria de Jobs y que hoy resuenan como principios para quienes buscan transformar industrias, ideas y contextos culturales.

El título de la exposición remite al discurso que Jobs pronunció en la ceremonia de graduación de Stanford en 2005, una intervención que marcó una generación y condensó su pensamiento vital. La frase “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” —“Mantente hambriento, mantente alocado”—, tomada originalmente de la contraportada del último número del Whole Earth Catalog, fue resignificada por Jobs como un manifiesto personal. En su visión, esta consigna encarna el impulso por buscar lo desconocido, tomar riesgos y persistir en lo esencial cuando lo convencional pierde sentido.

La exposición digital se estructura en fragmentos de archivos personales, notas, grabaciones de audio y material inédito, incluyendo manuscritos y reflexiones registradas en momentos de tránsito vital. A través de estos documentos, se evidencia que la visión de Jobs excedía el marco empresarial: se trataba de un pensamiento orientado por la sensibilidad artística, la intuición zen, el diseño como filosofía moral y la convicción de que la tecnología debe estar al servicio de la experiencia humana.

Jobs entendía la innovación no como sinónimo de novedad, sino como el acto radical de conectar lo invisible con lo necesario. Su interés por la intersección entre la estética, la ingeniería y la espiritualidad lo condujo a posiciones atípicas en la industria tecnológica. En un contexto de crecimiento exponencial de la inteligencia artificial, automatización y algoritmos, el archivo rescata una advertencia: “la computadora es la bicicleta de la mente, pero el ser humano sigue siendo el centro”.

Además de conservar, la iniciativa del archivo propone una pedagogía del pensamiento. Ofrece material para educadores, investigadores y estudiantes interesados en los cruces entre creatividad, tecnología y propósito. Se pone en valor no solo lo que Jobs dijo públicamente, sino lo que pensó en privado: sus dudas, sus influencias, sus lecturas, su proceso.

Este esfuerzo por preservar su legado no lo reduce a un empresario exitoso ni a un ícono del siglo XXI. La exposición revela un individuo marcado por la contradicción, el error, la búsqueda continua y una ética de la excelencia, que no se sustentaba en el perfeccionismo sino en la autenticidad. Jobs no fue un modelo de gestión, fue un caso de visión radical.

A casi dos décadas de su fallecimiento, “Stay Hungry, Stay Foolish” no se propone construir un culto. Invita, en cambio, a pensar cómo las ideas nacen en márgenes imprevistos, cómo el hambre intelectual y la voluntad de desobedecer modelos agotados pueden convertirse en motores de transformación cultural.

En un mundo saturado de optimización y control algorítmico, el mensaje permanece intacto: no basta con adaptarse, hay que imaginar. No basta con avanzar, hay que arriesgar. Y por sobre todo, hay que recordar que la tecnología, sin preguntas esenciales, se vuelve ruido.

Steve Jobs: licenziato e mazziato, un brutto carattere da 66 miliardi di dollari

L’errore micidiale 🛑Brutto carattere, gli è costato caro👇 #Stevejobs #applecomputer #macintosh #iphone #imac

Un uomo di carattere non ha mai un buon carattere: quello di Jobs è stato eccezionale da tutti i punti di vista. Ci ha dato molto, è costato molto ai suoi colleghi, e specialmente a lui: 66 miliardi di dollari. Ogni tanto mi capita di ricordarlo qui, nei nostri viaggi di Boomerissimo. Di gente di carattere ne ho conosciuta parecchia e se c’è una cosa che posso dire, è che non hanno mai un buon…

Playing Our Childhood Mac on the Fruit Jam 🍏💾

We grew up with a Mac Plus/512K, so getting the Pico-Mac 68000 emulator

working on Fruit Jam

was a high priority for those nostalgic vibes.

We've got HSTX DVI output plus a USB keyboard and mouse

and with a little effort, we built a 2-megabyte "disk" with some of our favorite games and apps:

MacPaint!

Lode Runner!

Shufflepuck Café!

What were your favorite games from the "classic" Mac era?
