Post Your Favorite Pre-1990's News and Reports of Computers and Technology !!!
Just had this idea whereby we can share pictures and/or videos of awesome "primitive" Ads/Reports/News etc of "groundbreaking" technological advances specifically in the field of Computer Science and IT dating before the 1990s....!!! You can post any of your favorite stuff that you may have seen in Newspapers/Magazines/Posters/Internet and from any sources...  I will start off with two: A Video of a 1981 documentary on "Internet" and how you can read Newspapers online from the comfort of your home:   Click to Watch Video !!! and an Ad of an "awesome" 10 MB Hard Disk

This has inspired me to keep my 8 year old HP Brio PC for a few more decades. And then sell it for a fortune.
