Amaya Toman Today's installment of our regular series on major tech events will be dedicated to a single but — at least for Apple — rather significant moment. We will remember the day when the first imaginary building block of the revolutionary Apple Lisa computer was laid.

Lisa is Born (1979)
Engineers at Apple began work on the Apple Lisa computer on July 30, 1979. The computer was introduced on January 19, 1983 and went on sale in June of the same year. It was one of the first desktop computers to have a graphical user interface. Lisa was equipped with 1MB of RAM, 16kB of ROM and fitted with a 5 MHZ Motorola 68000 processor. The black-and-white 12-inch display had a resolution of 720 x 360 pixels, it was possible to connect both a keyboard and a mouse to the computer, and it was equipped, among other things, with a drive for 5,25, 10-inch floppy disks. However, the price of 11 thousand dollars was very high by the standards of the time, and Apple managed to sell "only" 1986 units. Apple stopped selling this model in August XNUMX.
