- AEdgett77, on 07/07/2008, -2/+79Who are you speaking for when you say that I haven't seen these?
- ThreeDee912, on 07/07/2008, -1/+50I think 8 out of 9 of these have already been posted to Digg.
- cheapotheclown, on 07/07/2008, -0/+34the title is correct because the site won't even load
- edelay, on 07/07/2008, -1/+25I've seen them all.
- Chainheart, on 07/07/2008, -0/+17http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Isaac_Asimov
- SHUUTOBI, on 07/07/2008, -2/+18I c wut u did thar!
- Falldog, on 07/07/2008, -3/+18The sad thing isn't that we've already seen these already before, but that they'll be posted again in a week or two.
- mvanhorn, on 07/07/2008, -2/+11Excel crashes the soul of my new machine
- aussieNickuss, on 07/07/2008, -1/+8God dammit.....down already. Can't people build proper servers anymore?!?
- themastersb, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7First mrbabyman dupes his own stories now zaibatsu.

- Shootfast, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7Ah, but you see this list is completely different. This list has 9 items, not 10.
/sarcasm - doctechnical, on 07/07/2008, -0/+7"Colored Computer"?
Yes, it had to ride in the back of the bus. These were the shameful years of a new technology. - PhoenixAvatar2, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6They're using the parts from the ads.
- edwartica, on 07/07/2008, -0/+6Actually, I think 9 out of 9 have been posted to digg.
- mnortei, on 07/07/2008, -0/+5*****, that didn't last long. well don't Digg. Thanks for the mirror btw
- SlapAyoda, on 07/07/2008, -1/+6Saw them already.
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4I've seen them all.
- AnotherBrian, on 07/07/2008, -0/+4Thank you for not putting 'Top 9' in the title.
- Red1Delta, on 07/07/2008, -3/+7Its true 9 computer ads I didn't see because the site is down.
- Jpardue, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Briefcase Portability!!
- Ex3poo, on 07/07/2008, -5/+8Dugg for Colored Computer's ad guy's mutton chops.
- Tyrghast, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3I laughed at Bill Gates and the Tandy ad. The Tandy Center in Ft. Worth had the longest privately owned rail system (in the US) for a long time, too bad it closed down a few years back. That + the ice skating rink made it a cool place to go when I was little...
oh god i'm such a nerd... - inactive, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Dugg for Elvira.
- arcooke, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3*****
- Zaggynl, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Blank page.

Above link works though - Ex3poo, on 07/07/2008, -0/+3Change,THAT WE CAN BELIEVE IN!
- PhillyMJS, on 07/07/2008, -1/+4The way things are going, I think in 2030 people will be more likely to post asking "WTF is a 'US dollar'?"
- doctechnical, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2I'm not positive, but those look like disk packs to me. Removable storage, in other words.
- Ghstfce, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2That laptop one's address is a road that's about 100 feet from me. That place is now a laboratory. Never thought I'd see Horsham PA on Digg.
- MacEnvy, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2It sucks that he was lowered to advertising consumer electronics after decades of brilliance. But then again, it's his fault for not investing better I suppose.
- tim620, on 07/07/2008, -0/+2Sorry, I realized, after I posted my previous comment, that you were quoting / making fun of, one of the old adds. My bad.
- Myztry, on 07/07/2008, -2/+4The Tandy Colour Computer. My first computer back in 1982. I even paid for OS-9 (The one with the hyphen) which had pre-emptive multitasking. Kicked ass over the same era IBM PC compatibles.
Fondly remember programming 6809 8/16 bit machine code via the EDTASM+ ROM Cartridge at the age of 12... - tim620, on 07/07/2008, -1/+3Hope you are being sarcastic.... If not, what do you think the "e" in "email" stands for?
- Logistics1, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I'll sell you an extra 300Mb for $20K. :)
- DraxusD, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1ignorance is bliss
- Steve082291, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Definitely seen every single one of these
- inactive, on 07/07/2008, -2/+3Making fun of the past generations and their primitive technology is funny until you and your technology become part of the past and others laugh at you.
Digg in 2030:
"The paystation 4 with 2 terabytes of ram and a tetraquadratic core10duo 1,000,000GHZ cpu just $599 US dollars??" lololololLOL! Such primitive technology so expensive lol! I'd kill myself if I had to live in such primitive times lol. - ashishmohta, on 07/08/2008, -0/+1Thanks for the points guys. Even though it was down ( I was busy in my sisters marrige thingy ) for a while but its ok now. :D
- tim620, on 07/07/2008, -1/+2Sorry, I've seen all these adds a few times over. Nothing new to see here...
- ashishmohta, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1EMAIL ?
- ashishmohta, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1Lol I guess you are right. What we laugh at was solid hit when it as launched at that time and who knows that 2K was a discounted price
- doctechnical, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I saw most of these ads when they were originally run. They have not improved with age.
- ashishmohta, on 07/10/2008, -0/+1I dont think it will be WTF but yeah may be us$ will keep fluctuating and you would say....wtf is the problem
- StrawberryMacaw, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1I can't believe anyone would refer to the late Isaac Asimov as the "Colored Computer's ad guy".
- PopcornDave, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1You laugh but that thing looks lighter than the Osborne 1 that I started on. Plus it had a modem, and the screen was bigger than the 5" the Os had.
- djpray2k, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1Any idea what date these are from? The hard disk one is amazing - Can't wait to be old and telling my grandkids how much I paid for memory back in my day.
- smmakira, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1They Tandy 2000 delivered!!!
- DraxusD, on 07/07/2008, -0/+1The fact that the images are so small that you can't read most of the text pretty much ruins this article...
