Apple buried about 2,700 Lisa computers in 1989 in a landfill; here’s why

 In 1989, Apple buried about 2,700 unsold Lisa computers at a landfill in Logan, Utah, ending the story of one of its biggest early failures. Launched in 1983 with a graphical interface and mouse, the Lisa was ahead of its time but struggled because of its nearly $10,000 price and hardware problems. A computer reseller later tried to upgrade and sell thousands of the machines, but the effort ultimately failed. Today, surviving Lisa computers are valuable pieces of Apple history. In 1989, Apple buried about 2,700 unsold Lisa computers at a landfill in Logan, Utah, ending the story of one of its biggest early failures.
