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."

    Yeah, actually, the Lisa started at $15,000 and later dropped to $10,000. Although it was always far more powerful than the Mac during it's lifetime - much more memory, and better expansion capabilities. In fact, with some minor installations, you could turn a Lisa II (which was a free upgrade from an original Lisa) into a Macintosh VX.
