Wow... so does that mean over half of the Lisa population was buried in a landfill?

I think it's only ~2700 that were entombed at Logan, so out of the total 11300 left, we don't know of the 8600 how many were 2/10s, which should have survived, and how many were destroyed by NiCad leaks, or just tossed out/recycled by their owners due to age/obsolescence rather than given to others or sold off on ebay, or survived estate sales.

Ah! I had transposed that to 7200 in my head.

Still, I feel there's a lot fewer working Lisas out there than ever estimated. I don't know if I'd want to create or have "A Lisa Registry" due to the privacy implications, but @blusnowkitty's spreadsheet sort of serves that function and as we can see there's only ~134 rows there. Certainly there may be Lisae hiding in people's closets, basements, sheds, attics, and so on, even if there's 10x that number, that's a very small number of machines. :( It's depressing to think about.

IMHO I'm fine with making a registry - I doubt anyone is using a Lisa to prepare their taxes at this point, and tying a machine back to a screen name isn't a big deal IMHO (but - if someone doesn't want to tie their machine back to their SC that's fine, just note the SN in the list!)
