I completely forgot about these ads!

1. 256 colors? Who needs anything that fancy?

I still wake up screaming over the orange-on-black and green-on-black monitors.

2. Way back in the 1900s.

How old are you?

[Archae]

4. 62.

Back in the 1980's, I had an Apple II computer.

3. I don't remember even seeing these, and I worked in advertising. Thanks for sharing. Too cool.

5. OMG PS/2

the bane of my existence at the time...

I thought they were crap, particularly the gutless Model 30 and the Mac Plus wannabe try-hard Model 25.

Compaq ate IBM's lunch over PS/2. It just wasn't the time to try to launch a new I/O bus. And people FREAKED OUT that there was no 5-1/4" floppy.

And we missed Charlie...

6. I knew someone who knew the guy who played Radar.

He said he made an enormous amount of money from those commercials.

7. I've seen Jamie Farr and William Christopher on early 1960s episodes of The Dick

Van Dyke show. Larry Linville starred in the movie Earth Girls Are Easy and Harry Morgan
was in tv shows from the 1950s. Not that I keep track or anything...

8. Wait...

Larry Linville was in Earth Girls are Easy?? How the heck did i miss him in that film?

[abqtommy]

9. Yeah, I felt the same way. Totally different movie, totally different character but it is

indeed him!

12. I guess I was too busy with Geena Davis in that bikini

[abqtommy]

13. I can understand that. But after ya see a movie multiple times ya start to multi-task! nt

10. I don't remember ever seeing those ads - and in those days you couldn't avoid ads.

But loved seeing them all again in anything. Such talent. MASH picked good character actors proved by how believable they were in any role they played.

[abqtommy]

11. Whoa. Today, December 17, 2021, I've seen Jamie Farr in a 1967 episode of

Death Valley Days, playing an assayer very convincingly!

[TexasBushwhacker]

14. I had a perm like that in the 80s too!

[abqtommy]

15. Just a little bit ago I saw Harry Morgan in a 1996 episode of Third Rock From The Sun! nt
