The Apple Lisa's absurdly high price probably had some impact on the
demand for it. $9,000 for a personal computer was a bit high for most
people in 1980.

<LOL> That's been done before. Anybody remember the short-lived Apple
Lisa computer (~1979 I think)? Rumor had it that it was named after
Steve Jobs' (or Steve Wozniak's) girlfriend. It was a complete failure
in the marketplace for some reason. Long time ago... For whatever
reason, it just wasn't what the personal computer market wanted at the
time. But they kept right on pushing Apple IIs out the door until the
Mac came out.
