"Took receipt of" ?! I wonder when in the 80's this was ? At launch in 1983 the Lisa cost $10,000 (about $50,000 in 2023 dollars)... Not exactly the sort of thing one casually gets handed!
He had a very successful business and Apple sales talked to him about modernizing his office and workflows. And then he promptly continued to use what he already had. Not an uncommon story even in 2023. :) But it did create a truly remarkable opportunity for me, because certainly, to your point, my family could absolutely not afford this computer.
