Here's a bit of computer history and humor with one of Compaq Computer's ads. Compaq was trying to show its computer was compatible with IBM's personal computer. The ad showcases John Cleese comparing the Compaq Computer with a dead fish. See if you get the connection... and the dry humor.

Speaking of dead fish, who is the talentless imbecile who thinks John Cleese actually needs any introduction. Idiotic...

some very early hard drives took up about as much space as a large hard drive and could hold up to 3 Mb, incrediblewhereas today you can buy memory sticks the size of SIM cards which hold up to 8Gb (more than 2000 times the size)

i know that. it's just stunning how much it's advanced since. (wait, wasn't this commercial 1985?)have you seen the first floppy disk? it was about the size of a vinyl record sleeve. rather hillarious, they were.
