Lisas for $695! Down from $10,000! Talk about an inventory dump. But who would have bought a Lisa, even in 1988? Completely unsupported and incompatible platform.
Could Morrow have been more wrong about Scully? He knew nothing about selling computers never mind Apple. However, that break from Apple allowed Steve to recalibrate what he was doing. I doubt we would have something as good as OSX for Mac had Steve not started NeXT
Sculley was great for Apple. Apple had huge growth under him until 1993, when he was replaced by Michael Spindler. That's when things started going wrong.
Sculley made the right marketing moves from Apple and that was critical. He built up a reputation for customer service and solid dealer network. Contrast that with Commodore, which I had a "we hate customers and dealers" attitude, with goofy advertising and poor vision.
Never get those Mac fan boys basically loving everthing that comes from Apple and actually buying most of it. A few years and the cycle starts all over again. They would buy a toilet if the Apple logo was on it and gladly pay double price for it
You weren’t there back in the day so I’m not at all surprised. They weren’t “fan boys”. That’s your era. They were mostly creative professionals who wanted technology to just work, to increase efficiency and productivity. And no they didn’t buy it all. Are you nuts? Innovation came at a price.

Historical TV channel. I like it so much.
I love how Jan always has a new company every episode lol
She is the Computer Chronicles' "all-in-one utility" commentator. 💁🏻♂️🖥️🤖
😂
I like watching these shows on my iPhone more advanced than anything shown in the whole series.
Same
Jan Lewis is the greatest. She shows up in all kinds of episodes representing totally different companies. She could sell ice to an Eskimo.
She always talks a mile a minute like some kid on Pixie Stix, lol.

MIDI and Macs changed the musical industry landscape. 87-88 were pivotal years.
mmmm.... I would say the Atari ST did
definitely not, Mac time in MIDI came in mid 90s... before it was Atari ST domain by a large margin.
@@madigorfkgoogle9349 Yes, it was totally an ST landscape.
You know it's decades ago when it compares something to the size of a pack of cigarettes.
All those Lisas
EyeBeeM M For about the same price they go for now... with no inflation adjustment.
They went into a landfill. Apple completely screwed that guys company.
There's a TH-cam documentary about them.
That's MacWorld San Francisco, not Boston.
Freehand, Illustrator...those bring back some college memories.

A touchscreen for Mac in 1988. It's 2016, and we're still waiting for OS compatibility.

@19:19 1200p resolution in 1988. I think that caught up fast as I do recall having a 1600x1200 color CRT in 1994 and it was relatively inexpensive.
Define "relatively", lol, I seriously doubt a 1600x1200 monitor was anywhere near commodity/mass-market priced in 94.

Because Japan did and still out price and outperforms them... Epson, Brother, Canon ext
Funny side note: the first Laser Writer was 50% more powerful and had three times as much memory as the top-end Mac of that era.

Adobe seemed a lot hipper back in the 90’s. These days it ‘s just about squeezing the customer
Color is a gimmick. It will never catch on!
Jan Lewis is one handsome lady.
Back when Apple put Mac First.... They should be selling some ipad/iphone/iMac bundle at a discount! :-)

lol Sculley's skills....skills at leading Apple towards bankruptcy
It started well... but seeing the Lisa... ooooooo boy
As such, a contemporaneous Macworld magazine cover, depicting "Warrior King John Sculley", came to be ironic.
