I'm not very old, but in 20 years or so from now on, depends on my son's
"activity", I will tell my grandchildren the story from a true apple freak,
who used to bring a Lisa online after "she" worked 18 years without any
greater problems. The guy did that at a time, when Computers used to run at
some Gigahertz with the perhaps not very helpful System called Swindows or
something like that, I don't remember...
Well, he seemed to be the Top of the people, who worked with the
Apple-Computers, his name: Rick Ragnini.
He gave his Lisa a new challenge: It was the first GUI-System, which was
developed in the middle 80ies of the 20th century, and runs normally at some
few Megahertz, but this guy made everyone's Lisa-owners dream come true: A
Lisa server for the web!
Perhaps I will tell my grandchildren then, that we will try out the link at
once, cause today I'm shure that the Lisa will still work in 20 years and if
you tell us all here the link in some weeks in the LisaList, it will not
only be me, who will bookmark that one on top of the favourites...
Till then: Thomas
