Why Apple buried 2,700 unsold Lisa computers in a Utah landfill in 1989

In 1989, Apple disposed of approximately 2,700 unsold Lisa computers by burying them at a landfill in Logan, Utah. The Lisa had launched in 1983 as an innovative machine featuring a graphical interface and mouse, making it ahead of its era. However, its steep price tag of nearly $10,000 and recurring hardware issues prevented it from gaining commercial traction. A computer reseller later attempted to refurbish and resell the remaining units, but the effort did not succeed. Today, the few surviving Lisa machines are considered rare and historically significant artifacts from Apple's early years.
