I’ve had my Apple Lisa for quite a few years. It was one of the first machines I got when I started collecting old computers. Released in 1983, It no longer quite fits into my ideal of what an ‘old’ computer should be. I keep wanting to reach further and further back into time. For me, the older the system the better. The machine I have includes the rare 10mb Profile drive, SCSI card and drive, a modern XProfile drive, quick reference cards, manuals, original software and enough internal spare parts to build another machine, and then some.

Actually, because the software was never designed to be used 30+ years after it was released, and can not be set to the present date, it is therefore unusable as as a functional calendar.

I present to you the previously unobtainable Lisa Calendar software.

The Apple Lisa is considered by many to be the first commercially available computer with a GUI. With an initial price tag of US$10,000+, not to many units were sold. Only a small handful of 3rd party software was ever developed for it, and even less has been archived and are available online. So you can imagine my surprise when I realized that I had a working copy of Lisa Calendar, a program that was previously unavailable on the net, and was probably considered lost to the passage of time. Score!
