"Great to come across such ads. I remember most of them from 1980s magazines such as Byte, but many are older than that period. My first computer was an Apple II (it still occupies a space in my study), and of the computers in the list I have also used the VIC-20 and the Atari game console. Later I also used the HP-85 system (surprisingly not mentioned here, it was an engineers dream machine). Bill Cosby made several ads for TI in the early '80s, some of which were for the, ahem, rather mediocre calculators it company made in those days. I guess they intended to seize upon the stars popularity with the younger school audience." - Ala'a Esmaiel
