Call Sun Remarketing as ask for a catalog.  You can get the number from
the 800 operator, or look in a recent Mac magazine.  Sun Remarketing
specialized in Lisa and Mac hardware and software.  They also sell Apple ///
hardware.  Sun Remarketing has also commisioned new Lisa parts, and upgrades
to use SCSI hardware and Mac + compatibility.

Then you will love the Lisa.  Is is quite powerful, has an excellent operating
system, and runs a varitey of excellent software.  After all, the most
powerful computer is the one the people actually use.

> Should I contact Apple ? 

No, Apple doesn't remember the Lisa, and most Mac dealers have trouble
keeping up with stuff like System 6, let alone "classic" hardware.

> p.s. btw, are there any old LISA users out there?

Most Lisa users are fairly young, as are most computer users in general.
Perhaps you might want to inqure about SeniorNET, a network for older
people and senior citizens.
