Yeah, but some of these things were not necessarily flops; they were just stages in the development of something better. Lisa is a great example. At the time, those who were able to use it were amazed and it was an incredible inspiration for the next stage – the Mac. When I got my first make in 1984, my engineer friends would all drool over it saying things like, “Wow, that’s Lisa technology in a little box.” Lisa didn’t sell well to the general public; but it was a huge influence behind the scenes.

Woops. I meant “when I got my first Mac in 1984.”
