Have you heard of the Apple Lisa? On this day in 1983, a year before the Macintosh, the Apple Lisa was introduced to the world. As the first personal computer with a graphical user interface (GUI) and a mouse, the Lisa was a groundbreaking achievement in making computers more user-friendly. While its high price held it back, many of its innovations were refined and carried forward into the Macintosh, shaping the future of personal computing.
Named after Steve Jobs's daughter, the Lisa wasn’t just a technical milestone; it was a vision of how computing could empower creativity and productivity. It introduced features like overlapping windows, pull-down menus, and icons. #OTD in #ComputingHistory
