[PLUG] Apple open sources the source code for the Lisa

[Walt Mankowski via plug <plug@lists.phillylinux.org>]

The Apple Lisa turned 40 this week, and to celebrate Apple released
the source code. It's in Pascal! If you want to download it,
instructions are in this Arstechnica article:

I used Lisas a few times as an undergrad in a Wharton computer
lab. It's where I first learned what a spreadsheet was, using an early
version of Lotus 123.

There's more history of the Lisa in another Arstechnica article here:
