Almost. They did a big trade up program because they wanted to take them
out of the support loop. They offered a quite generous trade up from Lisa
to Mac Plus with Hard Disk 20, which included a data migration. (I know, I
got contracted to do some of the migrations.) It was quite sad really, the
Lisa has a lot in common with the Newton, it was a machine far ahead of its
time. By the way, the Lisa was significantly superior to early Macs.
(Multitasking OS, Document Centred OS, Hard Drives, Larger Screen etc.)
