This one was an unexpected Craigslist acquisition.  I got it for $300 from the original owner. He had purchased it in 1980s for his small business, kept it in his office and fired it up occasionally to keep it working.  

 

Its in good cosmetic and working condition - Lisa 2/10 (XL).  I also purchased an x/profile internal drive emulator for it, but have not had the courage yet to install it.  h ttp://vintagemicros.com/catalog/images/XProfileII.JPG  I just love right now that it is original and working great.  However, I will eventually install the card so that I am able to put every bit of Lisa software on it that I can get my hands on.

WOW! WOW! WOW! I'm so jealous! What a fantastic find, and an incredible score!! Take an video of this in action. I'd love it see it booted up. Congratulation!

I will have to at least get a picture of it turned on and running.

Please do, love to see her in action. I love the way the Lisa Suite of Apps works (from everything I've heard and read).

Wow man!!  $300 on Craigslist, wish that'd happen around me!  Great that you got it, and it's still in working order.  Call me crazy, but I kinda wont a Lisa 1 with the twin twiggy drives that Woz designed.  Kathryn's right, put some photos or video of it running on here!  I have a Lisa Emulator running on my iMac I play with some, but it's not exactly the same experience without the old hardware.
