Aren't you forgetting something?  The Lisa 1 (which cost $10,000) had *two*
5.25" disk drives which stored somewhere between 700K and 800K per diskette.
Anyone who upgraded from a Lisa to a Lisa 2 lost about 3/4 of their on-line
removable storage.  Upgrading to a Mac+ reduces this figure to slightly less
than 1/2, and certainly doesn't give Lisa 1 owners more floppy disk storage
than they had originally.
