Amaya Toman Ekupheleni kukaJulayi 1979, onjiniyela bakwa-Apple baqala ukusebenza kukhompyutha entsha yakwa-Apple ebizwa ngokuthi iLisa. Bekufanele kube ikhompyutha yokuqala eyake yenziwa i-Apple, ezoba nesithombe esibonakalayo somsebenzisi futhi engalawulwa ngegundane. Konke kuzwakale kuwumsebenzi omuhle kakhulu, oguquguqukayo ongenalo ithuba lokungahambi kahle.
USteve Jobs udonse ugqozi kuLisa ikakhulukazi ngesikhathi evakashele inkampani yakwa-Xerox PARC, futhi ngaleso sikhathi ubungacindezelwa kanzima ukuthola umuntu kwa-Apple ongazange ambheke njengomuntu oshaywe ngu-100%. Kodwa izinto zigcine zihamba ngendlela ehlukile kunalokho obekulindelwe nguMisebenzi neqembu lakhe ekuqaleni. Izimpande zayo yonke iphrojekthi zijula kancane kunokuvakasha kweMisebenzi ku-Xerox PARC ngasekupheleni kwawo-1970. U-Apple ekuqaleni wayehlele ukuthuthukisa ikhompuyutha egxile ebhizinisini, okungukuthi njengolunye uhlobo olubucayi kakhulu lwemodeli ye-Apple II.
Igalari yezithombe
Ngo-1979, isinqumo senziwa ekugcineni futhi uKen Rothmuller waqokwa njengomphathi wephrojekthi yeLisa. Uhlelo lwangempela lwaluwukuba imodeli entsha iqedwe ngo-March 1981. Umbono abaphathi be-Apple ababenawo ngoLisa kwakuyikhompiyutha enokusetshenziswa kubonwa ngendlela evamile ngaleso sikhathi. Kodwa lokho kwathatha izintambo lapho uSteve Jobs ethola ithuba lokubona isikhombimsebenzisi sabo sokuqhafaza ezindaweni zokucwaninga zakwa-Xerox. Wayejabule kakhulu ngakho futhi wanquma ukuthi uLisa uzoba ikhompyutha yokuqala yezohwebo emhlabeni wonke ukufaka i-GUI negundane.
Okwakubonakala ekuqaleni njengokusha okuhlakaniphile, kodwa ekugcineni kwehlulekile. UKen Rothmuller wagomela ngokuthi izinto ezintsha ezihlongozwe yiMisebenzi ye-Lisa zizoqhuba intengo yekhompiyutha ibe phezulu kakhulu kunezinkulungwane ezimbili zamadola ezazihlosiwe ekuqaleni. U-Apple uphendule ukuphikisa kukaRothmuller ngokumsusa enhloko yephrojekthi. Kodwa kwakungeyena yedwa okwakudingeka ahambe. NgoSepthemba 1980, "ithimba likaLisa" laze lavalelisa kuSteve Jobs - kusolakala ukuthi bekunzima kakhulu ukusebenza naye. Imisebenzi iqhubekele kwenye iphrojekthi eyagcina ikhiqize iMacintosh yokuqala.
Kungaba njalo okuthakaselayo
I-Apple Lisa yagcina ibone ukukhanya kosuku ngoJanuwari 1983. I-Apple yabeka inani layo ku-$9995. Ngeshwa, uLisa akazange ayithole indlela yakhe yokuya kumakhasimende - futhi akazange amsize naye ukukhangisa, efake inkanyezi u-Kevin Costner njengomnikazi omusha ojabule wekhompuyutha eshintshashintshayo. Ekugcineni u-Apple wavalelisa ku-Lisa ngokuhle ngo-1986. Kusukela ngo-2018, kulinganiselwa ukuthi kunamakhompyutha angama-30 kuya kwangu-100 asekuqaleni kaLisa emhlabeni.
Kodwa ngaphezu kwendaba yokwehluleka kwayo, kukhona nendaba ehlobene negama layo elihlotshaniswa nekhompyutha ye-Lisa. USteve Jobs uqambe ikhompuyutha ngendodakazi yakhe uLisa, uyise ayephikisana nayo ekuqaleni. Ngenkathi ikhompuyutha ithengiswa, Imisebenzi yayisanda kuvivinywa. Ngakho-ke, wathi igama elithi Lisa lisho "I-Local Integrated System Architecture". Abanye abangaphakathi kwa-Apple benze ihlaya lokuthi uLisa empeleni umfushane ethi "Let's Invent Some Acronym." Kodwa Imisebenzi ngokwakhe ekugcineni wavuma ukuthi ikhompuyutha yaqanjwa ngempela ngengane yakhe eyizibulo, futhi yakuqinisekisa ku-biography yakhe, eyabhalwa nguWalter Isaacson.
