While we’re on the subject of computers, and specifically Apple computers, here’s an amusing commercial from 1982 for the Commodore 64 computer. In the ad, Commodore touts its advantages over the Apple ][, including its price point. (Sound familiar?)

And I don’t say it’s amusing to be smug, rather it’s because I hadn’t really thought about the old C64 machines in a long time. Commodore went bankrupt in the mid-1990s and rights to the name were passed around like a hot potato for years. The brand was apparently resurrected last year with the introduction of a range of gaming PCs in Europe running Windows Vista.
