And that's what, get used to the name...
1:00:08
...Lisa is gonna do.
1:00:11
Yeah!
1:00:12
You know, that computer was
the first big new project we had at Apple.

1:00:16
And some people are still wondering
why Steve insisted on that name.

1:00:21
You wanna call a computer Lisa?
1:00:24
Isn't that your baby's...?
1:00:26
I mean...
1:00:28
What's her name? Arlene.
Isn't that Arlene's baby's name?

1:00:33
Other guys here
have daughters named Lisa.

1:00:36
Steve, you got a baby up there
you don't even wanna talk about.

1:00:41
- I mean, it looks sort of...
- Sort of what?

1:00:55
We have to think of ourselves as artists.
1:01:00
It's like Picasso said:
1:01:02
Good artists copy. Great artists steal.
1:01:08
This is who we wanted
to steal from. Xerox.

1:01:11
They were secretly developing
all this amazing stuff...

1:01:14
... like the mouse and the graphics on the
screen instead of just a bunch of numbers.

1:01:18
But when those California engineers
had to go to New York...

1:01:21
... and present all this neat stuff
to the Xerox brass...

1:01:24
... those executives didn't begin
to understand what they were looking at.

1:01:27
Never mind a mouse. It was like someone
dumped a dead rat on the boardroom table.

1:01:41
A mouse.
1:01:47
You want Xerox to consider
something called a mouse?

1:01:57
See, this is where Steve was a genius...
1:01:59
... because he persuaded Xerox
into showing us all this incredible stuff...
