…of the original Apple Lisa. One of Apple’s first computers with a GUI and a mouse, the Lisa sold for $9995 back in 1983. Later that year, the Macintosh debuted for a paltry $2495 and ever since then, Steve Jobs has felt stricken with guilt:
“I’ve felt bad about people who bought the Lisa for a long time. Anybody who bought one of the first Apple Lisas really got screwed,” said Jobs. “Now that we’ve got some cash, I think it’s about time we made it right.”
Glad you’re doing the right thing Steve, but almost 25 years later? Totally unnecessary and not even that great of a PR move. If you think you’re on the road to a quick seven grand though, think again. Original Lisa owners will need a proof of purchase from the box and the original receipt as well to claim the refund.

You pulled this from BBSpot? Did it ever occur to you that their motto is “Satire for Smart People; The Truth for You”?

I’m really surprised this made it as “real” news. BBSpot is renown for it’s hilarious satirical articles.

I’m I the only person here who assumed that Vince thought it was funny and posted it. having never been to BBSpot, I kinda thought “this is a spoof” right off the bat.

Travis-
The rest of the people up here probably, like me, looked at the tags the article is sorted with and assumed that Vince swallowed this crock whole.

Holy crap dude.
At first I saw the title and laughed good and hard. Then I read it and believed you, now I come to the comments only to find out once more that it’s all fake.
Your messin with my head man!
