I think the Lisa is really the wrong machine to imagine this counterfactual.

I tend to agree. It's always been an interesting question to me what would have happened had Raskin's original Mac vision had Jobs' support and marketing behind it. I tend to think it would have been a really interesting machine. Of course, we know it did see the light of day in a way in the form of the Canon Cat. But what would a Jobs supported version have looked like, and would it have been a good transition to a later, higher performance machine? Though, I should point out that my interest isn't so much about market share and sales volume. I'm thinking more from the perspective of an engineer and programmer who would have been interested in playing with and programming such a machine. BLS
