A sidebar to the “Apple’s Lisa: A personal Office System” report published in January 1983, pp. 7.

Our impression of Lisa went up one notch when we discovered that it remembers where things are when you finish with them, and it returns them to the same location when they are re-opened. Thus Lisa begins to fit like a glove as you work with it rather than continually plopping windows on the desk-top in an arbitrary manner causing you constantly to organize them. There’s nothing more seductive than a system that begins to mirror your own actions.
