I found outlast night that my father used to have several Lisas and gave them away!!!
In the '80s he ran the accounts department for a local aluminium smelter. They used 4 Lisas for about 2 years before changing over tho PCs. I don't know whether the Lisas were bought in this country as the factory was Canadian owned and they cold have been shipped over.
Sadly the Lisas were kept in a storeroom until 1990 and then junked :(
Still my quest continues............
Take care,
