>>>Computer history tidbit here. Before the Macintosh there was the Lisa. Like its successor, it implemented the "WIMP interface" that had been designed at Xerox PARC Labs. Unfortunately it cost about $15,000 (in early 80s dollars) and was infamously slow. It got a lot of media attention and was a commercial bust. Anyway, it was named the Lisa after Jobs's illegitimate daughter.
