Sep 18, 2009 - Beautiful! Thanks for sharing this awesome piece of technology. Can't wait to see the NeXT Cube in action. It was the first machine I ever surfed the web on - back in 1989!

Sep 24, 2009 - Which is kind of sad... Do you (or anyone else reading this comment) think there's a market for computers built specifically to last for decades?

Nov 15, 2009 - Youd think for $10000 it would have a color screen.

Nov 17, 2009 - Actually, it's just that modern computers suck. Did you know that the IBM AT had an expected operational lifetime of 138 years. Most modern computers average 12 years expected. Now granite 138 years is fairly optimistic, but tell that to IBM who still says that today.

Nov 23, 2009 - Color screens weren't sharp enough in those days. The Lisa screen was very high resolution for its time. It was higher resolution than the Mac, by the way. It even had oblong pixels to improve text readability. The Lisa in this video is a Lisa 2 model, which is less appealing aesthetically in my opinion.

Nov 23, 2009 - Very smart handling the boards without an anti-static wrist strap... ugh

Nov 24, 2009 - you bet! this was ahead of it´s time just like most of the apple inventions...

Bifteki500 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - I´d really be proud to work for Apple; such an amazing company that doesn´t simply copy technology but invent and thereby make pave their own markets; incredible!

t1mmy13 Says:

Nov 24, 2009 - I am actually VERY impressed with what they have accomplished back in the days! (sorry for my crappy english)
