Nostalgic Computer Print Ads

Filed under: News — admin @ 7:51 am

It’s embarrassing, but I remember seeing a few of these for the first time. A great price on 16K of RAM? A 300MB hard drive for under $20,000? Man, we’ve come a long way!

  1. Dan, I would not use the term embarrassing, there is something really good about old hardware that people now will never understand. Im planning on buying a C64 at some point so I can learn what computing was like back then. I even found a really good book on C64 programming at a college library I can use. I read your Droid X book and everything is just push a button on a menu now. I hope you can at least make a book on Android programming at some point.

  2. I’ve dabbled in Android OS programming, but not to any great extent. They just keep me too busy writing! Yeah, $1,000,000 for a cool app? Who cares!

    I’m embarrassed by the old ads because it dates me. I’ve been around a long time. Granted, I was quite young during the computer revolution, but still. Geezer here!
