Lisa sales binder

The Lisa was Steve Job's pet project until he switched to the Mac (oh, Steve, how mercurial you can be!). It was a revolutionary device that didn't sell well for the same old reasons: lack of software, and price.

However, Apple did try and sell a boatload of them (I mean, they wanted to make money). Charles Eicher has spent some time scanning in a Lisa marketing brochure so that we could all look back and ponder a world that might have been.

I'd like to add a Lisa to my Apple collection: i have nearly everything from the IIGS to a 12" PowerBook. My garage is full but I'd like at least one more. Does anyone have one they'd like to add to my Mac museum? I'd pay reasonable shipping, etc. Software a plus, Thanks,
