    Smile Check this out...

    An original Apple Lisa that was put up for sale on eBay. Nice bit of nostalgia, though the description has some small inaccuracies, most prominent of them that this was the first system with a mouse. I'm pretty sure that Unisys and UNIX terminals before 1980 had mice, but even if they didn't, my Apple IIc had a mouse, and I KNOW that came before Lisa.

    I learned how to type on Apple IIcs, but ours were miceless. Back in 5th grade, those were our "workstations", while those "OMG IT HAS A MOUSE COOL!" Macintosh systems were reserved only for the popular kids...*sniff*. At least I got to play lemonade stand

    Dude! That game so rocked! I remember once trying to make a long-term plot of all the construction projects and everything so that I could keep track of when business was going to spike or drop off...
