Naturally, I'm hoping y'all will post additional amusing and/or historical computer-related ads...I know you've got some saved ;-)

Back in the ‘80s, when they were starting to roll out PCs to the rank-and-file at work, my sister was training a gentleman on how to use his new toy. It had a boot disk for the program (remember those?) She told him he had to treat it carefully and not lose it, as he could not run the program without that disk.

So he stuck it on the side of his file cabinet with a magnet.

I’m too busy saving up $12,000 for an 80Mb hard drive. :)

Great post. It reminds me of the Zevon song “Networking”.
