Before Macintosh: The Apple Lisa (2024) [video]

This is David Greelish's great documentary about the Lisa with interviews from John Sculley, Bill Atkinson, Ray Arachelian (developer of LisaEm), and many others involved with the Lisa both in the past and the present. It's been free on YouTube for a number of months, but I feel it deserves a bit more attention.

David also recently published some of his extended interview footage with Bill Atkinson, which can be found here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UAAFnqj-Cks

It's always fun to see some footage from the cutting room floor. I think some of the casual banter that normally gets edited out really does a lot to humanize people.

I wasn't aware of this movie, thanks for sharing! Nice to see interviews with Bill and Ray (both unfortunately no longer with us).

Is 1.5 hours really too long for people to watch that they feel it's not even worth it if they can read an AI-generated summary?

I get that people have limited time, but a documentary is about more than just consuming raw textual information; it's a chance to hear and see people speaking about their experiences. It's a multi-sensory experience.

All a link like this really accomplishes is to take views away from the actual video, and I feel it's a disservice to the people who put in the hard work of filming, editing, and creating graphics and animations for a fully-finished production.

> Is 1.5 hours really too long for people to watch that they feel it's not even worth it if they can read an AI-generated summary?

Without getting into the specifics of this particular topic (or the "AI summary takes away from the original creator" aspect), I'd say 1.5 hours is definitely too long for me if the topic is something I have minimal interest in.

I'm definitely going to weigh time vs interest when it comes to consuming content (including summaries vs full length).
