Apple Lisa 2: Inside & Out

Before the Macintosh, Apple released the Lisa computer, which was one of the very earliest commercial systems with a GUI and mouse. We take a look inside the system, then boot it up for a look at the operating system and included apps. I got inspired to make this video because of the #MARCHintosh event going on, even if I'm not sure if it qualifies as being Macintosh enough!
