in 1978, apple intended to develop its own fileware drive mechanism for use in the new apple iii and apple lisa business computers being developed. they quickly ran into difficulties which precluded them from being incorporated in the apple iii, which continued to use the earlier shugart design. finally, fileware drives were implemented in the lisa computer, released on january 19, 1983. the original macintosh computer was originally intended to implement a shugart drive, then later, a fileware drive, before eventually shipping with sony's 3.5" 400k diskette drive. although apple planned to make fileware drives available for the apple ii and apple iii, and announced them under the names unifile and duofile (for single and dual drives, respectively), these products were never shipped.

lisaproject









































lisaproject was the first gui-based project management software. developed for the apple lisa computer, lisaproject was conceived and implemented by debra willrett of solosoft and developed for apple's lisa computer.









































in 1981, willrett realized that project management was a universal problem and that a gui-based application would be a useful tool. she proposed what became lisaproject to trip hawkins at apple. at the time, apple was developing the apple lisa computer which had limited software.
