iPad looks great – but Lisa is memorable

I’ll admit that the hype and hoopla surrounding Apple’s iPad tablet computer turned my head.
I was reading online updates on my BlackBerry as I was shopping at a store.
You can read all you want about it since journalists flocked to Cupertino, Calif. San Francisco to see Steve Jobs introduce the company’s latest creation.
But I am proud to say that I once used the Apple Lisa – my dad brought one home in the 1980s – and it still holds a soft spot for me in the history of computers.
