     IIRC at one point in time around 1981, the answer was:   
      
     You buy a Lisa. The "Lisa Workshop" is the development system   
     for the Mac.   
      
     (At that time, I was asked to write software on a Lisa, but my   
     offer exceeded the client's price point.)   
      
     (After a few years, Macintosh-native development system were   
     developed.)
