Vintag.es has a good spread, as I flip through it. Many a healthy dose of the chicks of computers - in all their safe for work propriety - with the machines in as prominent display.

There's a great collection of adverts, many with their background stories, organised by time and by manufacturer, at nosher:

Re: Computer ad and review compilations
Thanks. I'd love to see them complete that archive.
I'm intrigued by Sanyo's '1959' advert as much as the site compilers: https://nosher.net/archives/computers/p ... 1-14_sanyo
Cars and computers don't really match up but I'd say Stuart Chefait's comparison of the C64 to the Model T was more apposite. In this country, it would be more the Spectrum.
1985's Atari ST and Amiga (and the Pentium PCs of the multimedia age) also have more of a landmark quality.

Wow! That's an impressive slab of metal under that Shugart 14" hard drive!

You can just imagine the heat and smell of hot electronics from that huge long row of tellies.

I'd call that a smell of my youth.

And the Yugoslavs knew how to promote computers: http://awkwardfamilyphotos.com/yugoslav ... e-80s-90s/
At last someone made them interesting.
