there was a front page article in last Sunday's San Jose Mecury News
describing what they thought the MacIntosh was...in a nutshell, a 68K
with 128K memory, one integrated disk drive (additional drives must
be external) for $2500, add two software packages and a printer to
get to $3000.  Apparently, the Lisa people have had to modify their
systems to run Mac software, but the result is the software that
runs on a Mac will run on a Lisa, but not vice versa (I hope I got
the direction right...).  I think the disk for the beastie is a
3 1/2" Teac (if my memory serves me right).  For more info, you might
try to dig up a copy of the article (well, ok, the Mercury is not
one of your major national newspapers, but I am too lazy to and most
would not appreciate my entering the text of the article).
