If you thought that the $100 iPhone credit was nice, then think again, for Steve Jobs has decided to give every customer who bought an Apple Lisa in 1983 (damn, just one year before I was born) for $9,995, a hefty $7000 credit in any Apple store.

“I’ve felt bad about people who bought the Lisa for a long time. Anybody who bought one of the first Apple Lisas really got screwed,” said Jobs. “Now that we’ve got some cash, I think it’s about time we made it right.”

Not all Apple gadgets had great success, and Lisa was one of the rare ill-fated products designed by the Cupertino-based company. But fortunately, Steve Jobs has a good heart, and quite a bit of money to spend. So rather than buying himself something fancy, he decided to give something back to the customers who support and supported the company both in it’s dark and glorious days.

I wonder if this initiative will motivate Microsoft to give it’s Windows ME customers a similar credit… Nah, that will never happen.
