Lisa

Many, many years ago, Apple Computer introduced a product called the Lisa. It was $10,000 and predated the Macintosh; an upgrade kit later allowed Lisa computers to become the Macintosh XL. I've only ever seen a non-functional Lisa IRL, converted into an aquarium. They are a quaint, almost kitchsy part of Macintosh and personal computing history. Modern Mechanix ran two articles on the Lisa here and here.
