This is 10 years, 5 months, 5 days older than me, yet I still feel nostalgic watching it. I don’t know why.

There’s a much better version of this promo video here on YT, without the video glitches.

Wow! I remember this ad!

I was in it–look for the handsome guy in a business suit carrying a Lisa computer at 2:49.

The photographer took about 100 stills that day, then used just a half-dozen, and of my backside, no less. Sigh…

I was in Corporate Accounts in SoCal, calling on the Fortune 1000 corporations. Boy, trying to get them to switch from IBM was like pulling teeth.

But I loved the Lisa, a very advanced OS that would seem familiar to anyone today, 25 years later…

Cool video.
I never saw it.
And after 23 years Apple is still at the top for technology and innovation.
Well… The Apple III was not a big success
