Encyclopedia4U - Apple Lisa - Encyclopedia Article (617 words)
Much of the design of the Lisa, which was supposedly named after the daughter of Apple co-founder Steve Jobs, was inspired by the graphical user interface of the Xerox Star (8010) workstation.
The Lisa project was started at Apple in 1978 and slowly evolved into a project to design a powerful personal computer with a GUI that would be targeted towards business customers.
The nail in the coffin for Lisa was the release of the Macintosh in 1984, which helped discredit the Lisa since the Macintosh also had a GUI and mouse but was far less expensive.
