A History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the early-days dept.

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.

    I haven't seen most of these (I'm 23 so I missed the early computer age).

    You're also too stupid to know anything about real computing, you homo. Just go fuck yourself and leave the real computing to real people, not gays.
