History of TV ads for PCs
PCWorld's "History of Computers, As Seen in Old TV Ads" is an hilarious trip down memory lane -- I'm very fond of this Newton ad, which reminds me of just how much I fetishized those early PDAs. I wish they had the "I Adore My 64" ads, which contained the greatest rhyme, evar, "I write with it, create with it, I telecommunicate with it!"
