From Gizmodo:
If you thought the Vista Ads (http://gizmodo.com/gadgets/software/microsoft-bores-us-with-first-vista-commercial-218576.php) were boring, check out this Windows 386 ad from the early 90s. I'm not sure what kind of designer drugs these people were on when they made this, but we're pretty sure it's currently used for farm animals and prison inmates sterile. – Jason Chen

For the full video check out Windows 386 promo video on crack too they are all too funny, especially seeing the "old technology" like cassette players, etc...

Oy! Wow, does that bring back memories!!! I remember my Epson I got for Christmas 1987 had two 5 1/2" floppies (no hard drive). I was stoked because I had outgrown my Commodore 64. Anyone under 25 have a clue what I'm talking about?!

yes i remember wait 30 min of that cassette noise and a sintax error( i think it was) and crashes the whole game and you have to start all over again.

When i got my amiga 1200 and the games loaded fast and every time i thought wow great.

That video is funny. Look how big the monitor is!!!!

Speaking of Commodore 64, my first game was "The Hitchikers Guide to the Galaxy" where everything was typed at the prompt. We've come a long way.

Commodore games where great...anyone play Caveman Olympics, or leaderboard? Come on someone out there played The Bards Tale. :3some:

I remeber computer classes when you had to write the program and wait till the next morning to get you punch cards and then run them through to see if you had an error. if you did you started all over, then along came the Apple II now that was a smoking machine..:5lol::5lol::5lol:
