Friday Morning Technology

I've touched on the nostalgia of 80s computing technology and pricing before. 

Here's a nostalgic compilation of television advertisements featuring home computing pioneers such as Apple, Atari, Commodore, Tandy and Texas Instruments.  Early marketing strategies featured family educational applications, gaming, the transition from typewriters to word processors and the quantum leap to 24K of memory.  

Burgess Meredith does voice-over for Commodore, Ed Grover was the voice of Apple in the 80s and even Bill Cosby pitches  for Texas Instruments.

Oh to be able to travel back in time to share the capabilities of the latest and greatest iPhone.
