Many of you have sent in links to this article claiming we are offering $7,000 rebates to people who bought Apple Lisa computers back in the day and then got hammered when we released the Mac for way less money not long after. I want you to know that I appreciate so many people sending me this link, but I want to assure you that this story is false. Okay? No refunds for Lisa owners. Sorry. I know it's a good idea. But there's a statute of limitations on this kind of thing and we're long past it. (Photo: Burt Hammer, Hammer Agency.)

How about the Next then?
Hey FSJ,
I just realised my favourite '-tard'
would have to be
'Jean-Francois Lyotard'
boom-tish.
Besides, the rebate shouldn't be for the full $7000, but only half the difference between $7000 and whatever Apple's current highest priced computer is. And it should be only available in credit at the Apple Store.
Bwahahha!
Sales figures from that year show that if all people who bought the computer claim the refund, Apple could be liable for almost $70,000
Ten purchasers! Now THAT'S brilliant parody!!
Or long PAST it, even.
Call it quits with 'em by sending them each a ZUNE.
Bokay? Peace Out.
Where's my check?
I waited in line, you know.
Damn that is So old.....
that's a MAc XL in the photo.
What about my retroactive rebate for my Apple ///?
/s/ Fake Mike Markkula
No it's not a Mac XL. It's got twin 5.25" 'twiggy' drives. The Mac XL has a 3.5" floppy drive (as did the Lisa 2), which you got upgraded to even if you converted an original Lisa to an XL.
FSJ- Am I missing something, or is there a reason why this site (http://apple-i-phones.info/wordpress/) is reprinting your blogposts verbatim without links or attribution? Check out the four or five posts toward the bottom of the page.
hey, Fake Steve .. you should buy an audiobook of English Grammer For Dummies.
Instead of "we're long passed it" try "we're long past it".
What a frigtard!
oops. thanks. fixed it.
hey, Fake Steve .. you should buy an audiobook of English Grammer For Dummies.
FSJ can buy that book after you have bought a dictionary for Dummies (such as yourself) and learnt how to spell the word grammar. Pot, meet kettle.
