(definitely click on image to enlarge this one)TW: One thing that gets lost when you troll through old magazine archives on-line are the old ads. To me the old ads are almost as interesting as the articles. In these challenging times, it is somewhat re-assuring to be reminded how far and fast technology has evolved. This ad was from I believe 1977. It featured a scintillating 4K of memory but then with a 1 MHZ microprocessor how much did you need? There primary application appeared to be Pong.
The flip-side, naturally, is how archaic will today's computer ads appear in thirty years?
