From the Paper:

"Jobs desired a much stronger showing for the Macintosh. Within 74 days there were 50,000 Macintosh computers sold at a cost of $2,495. This interest in the Macintosh system was not considered excessive by industry standards, but Jobs still had other ideas to expand on the original system. The system included an MC68000 CPU at 8 Mhz. It had a 128k memory, with 2 serial ports and weighed 16.5 pounds. From the Lisa system it had taken the memory and multitasking features, and it was enhanced in 1985 with a laser writer printer and Aldus page maker desktop publisher 6."
