Well, there was a Lisa running Unix at OCC '84 (the last) in Anaheim.
At least one. At the Apple booth. Since I'd been playing with Xenix
(at the Radio Shack Computer Center where I did tech support) for well
over a year by then, I was actually not too impressed -- it was far
from ready for prime time. But it was definitely Unix. It just wasn't
commercial. Especially since Tandy Xenix systems cost a fraction and
actually had support (around Los Angeles, that was mostly me -- with
some good documentation and a good line to Fort Worth).

They say that politics makes strange bedfellows.
Of course, the main reason they cuddle up is to screw somebody else.
