Apple Brings Back Lisa Veteran

Posted by chrisd on from the is-it-soup-yet dept.

Anonymous Coward writes "eWEEK reports on a memo from Steve Jobs announcing that Apple's education sales and marketing have been combined under the direction of John Couch. Couch was the vice president and general manager in charge of Apple's Lisa project and was frequently at loggerheads with Jobs before exiting the company in 1982."

    The Mac had a faster processor and 4 times the ram for about a third the price.

    No, the Lisa had 1 Meg of RAM, and the Mac had 128K.

    IIRC, the original Mac had an 8Mhz 68000, but I don't recall the Lisa's processor speed.
