Oh, sure, you may think that dropping the iPhone’s price $200 (1/3) in a couple months was extreme, but think of the Lisa owners, who bought a computer for $9,995 only to have it obsoleted the next year by a $2,495 machine. That’s $7,500! Over 3/4!
Thankfully, Apple has heard your pleas and responded.
Early adopters of the iPhone weren’t the only ones receiving in-store credit from Steve Jobs. In an overlooked announcement, Jobs said that early adopters of the Apple Lisa would be receiving a $7000 in-store credit.
“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.”
It’s about time.

You do realize this is a joke, correct? There might be some poor Lisa owners getting their hopes up in vain at the moment...
Stay tuned for a future post wherein I will offer a bridge for sale.
