Even when development started in summer '79 it took twice as long as Apple expected, not only because they had to get rid of Jobs first. So LISA wasn't launched earlier than 1983 with 1Mb RAM for almost U$D 10K. The project was a $50 million investment for Apple Inc., and kept losses low since it sold almost 5K units annually. After 27 months it was in-house competition that buried the Lisa computers, litterally. In the end it was a zero sum game for Apple, but a huge step for modern graphic user-interfaces and more personal computers.
Guys I truly don’t mean to spam the community but these are legit questions. Yesterday I posted about linux compatibility and computers and every single person gave me knowledge to use and you’re all awesome....
Ubuntu 23.10 & Fedora 39, both running Gnome of all things (eye roll) run just fine on my late 2009 iMac (iMac 10,1)
nb : Fedora 39 has an installation bug. Installing Fedora 38 minimal then upgrading to 39 is the simplest solution. Kudos as usual to Canonical for shipping a trouble free install on Mac.
Where should I store my vault on my #Mac? I feel so lost! For years × ∞ I've put everything in Dropbox or iCloud, but that, I hear, is a recipe for sync troubles.
looks at computer as if for the first time, confused expression on previously confident face *
Why is my Documents folder greyed out? Where am I? Who am I ?? Help me, obi-@obsidianmd, you're my only hope!
What do people use for #bittorrent on #Mac? I am currently using Vuze, but it's so super spammy. The only reason I manage to use it without it installing all sorts of spammy features is that they all appear to be blocked by my pi-hole. Nothing seems that great.
CBI Image of the Day. It is 1984 & the Apple MacIntosh quickly stood out for its relative, small form factor, GUI, and ease of use--garnering substantial adoption in businesses, like this NYC office, schools, and homes.
The cityscape and office setting stand in contrast to the computer lib myth (more than a little irony to revolution myths presented in ultra-expensive Superbowl ads)
Are older, but Linux compatible computers capable of running the newest kernel/version of various distros?
