A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads
Tiny Tuba writes "PC World's Harry McCracken pulls together a compendium of vintage PC commercials posted on YouTube. There are commercials from the 1980s right up to the present. If you are looking for a laugh, you will have fun with the Atari 400, Commodore 64 and more." Worth it for the Shattner Vic-20 commercial alone, but the others are well-picked too. Naturally, the Apple 1984 commercial is included.
Found some WAV files of the commericals. Getting closer. :)

Cool video: A 15 minutes YouTube video showing off the Amiga 500, also known as the A500. It was the first "low-end" Commodore Amiga 16/32-bit multimedia home/personal computer. It was announced at the winter Consumer Electronics Show in January 1987, at the same time as the high-end A2000, and competed directly against the Atari 520ST.

Sig: I stole this sig.
I had to reload the page several times because the flash animations stopped producing sound for some reason. I wonder if it's just coincidence that something similar happened to you.
