Lisa: Steve Jobs’ sabotage and Apple’s secret burial | FULL DOCUMENTARY

1.4M views · 3 years ago · documentary · historical

A documentary from The Verge on the Apple Lisa, covering how the computer was developed, how it was sidelined at Apple, and what became of the unsold machines. It also features the Sun Remarketing company that supported the leftover Lisas.

HN people share it as a thorough story of the Lisa's fate, and single out the Sun Remarketing segment as especially interesting.

I was familiar with the story of the Lisa, but hearing from Bob Cook about Sun Remarketing and all the work they did to support the deprecated Lisas (which they rebranded as the Lisa Professional) was super interesting. If you just want to watch the bit about the Lisa Professional, it's here: ▶ this video

Coincidentally, I just watched this documentary yesterday on the Apple Lisa [1]. Or maybe OP watched the same. In any case, it heavily features Sun Remarketing, so people might find it interesting as well. [1] ▶ this video
