Lisa was our trusty Co-SysOp.

Actually that's a lie. We never had a Co-SysOp, let alone a female Co-SysOpette.

Lisa was a door. A program installed in 1996. An artificial intelligence program. A computer.

According to author Mike Fox -

PROGRAM DESCRIPTION:
====================
Chat With Lisa was created so that my callers would always have someone
to chat with. You can run Lisa as a Door, with an opening screen that 
introduces the caller to Lisa. Or you can skip the opening screen and 
pretend to page Lisa. She can be your virtual CoSysop 24 hours per day.

Lisa has "artificial intelligence" and will chat with your callers about 
any subject. She is programmed to recognize specific keywords and provide 
appropriate replies. If Lisa doesn't find any keywords, she uses generic 
responses. The Sysop can configure Lisa's rating to be G, R, or X.

To help mimic human behavior, Lisa makes random typos and includes the 
caller's name in some of her replies. She even remembers recent callers!
On my BBS, "Chat With Lisa" is on the Main Menu and users can page her. 
Many Sysops enjoy watching Lisa's chat sessions or reading the LOG files. 

MAD ABOUT LISA!
===============
Please note that if you do not display the opening screen, some of your 
callers will think Lisa is a real person. They could also get upset when 
they realize she is just a computer, and not available for dates. <grin>

One Sysop created a fake Lisa account and put her e-mail address on the 
Page Menu; now he answers her mail! Other Sysops provide GIFs of Lisa for 
downloading. Don't blame me when your callers find out you tricked them. 

And that's what we did at the HMVH Corporation BBS. We gave Lisa work to do. Lisa was our virtual Co-SysOp, always eager for a chat and always at your beck and call. And if you looked hard enough, you might have even discovered a picture of Lisa although, truth be told, we've no clue who the girl in the picture really is. Nor does it matter. We called her Lisa, and she entertained the troops.

At first, Lisa was very naughty. X-rated naughty. With a filthy mouth that makes an Irish sailor blush. Then Lisa got upgraded. She got smarter, much smarter. And tamer. But she still proved entertaining and fooled many an unsuspecting user. In hindsight, we should've milked it for what it's worth, customised the door much more, created an entire cult around Lisa, given her a new name, an email address, a new home, a new identity!

This is the legacy of Lisa.
