The history of the personal computer in TV commercials (Download Squad)

Feb 1st 2007 12:41PM Nice collection. My favorite old computer ad was from Apple. It showed a table with a Mac and an IBM PC on it. The announcer says "To use an IBM PC, you need to read this many manuals." and then a stack of books about 4 feet high drops heavily down on the table. The announcer then says "To use a Macintosh, you need to read this:" and then a single book (more like a booklet) floats down, feather-like, onto the table. That is powerful symbolism.
