I paused this commercial to show my wife that it was a C=64 - and was immediately branded the nerd that I am! LOL!
Also - the monitor appears to be a generic 80s PC monitor, and the text appears to be a DOS boot-up sequence. On the paused screen on TV, I was able to make out a "SET BLASTER=xx yy zz" command - good ol' SoundBlaster DOS syntax. :-)))
The computer is actually running DOSBox, if you can look closely you can make out the "HAVE FUN! DOSBox team" and also the duster's trying to type something like
Antique Commodore 64 computer being used as a prop! The keyboard prop is actually a C64. Watch closely from about 3 seconds to 9 seconds in. It is a C64 not plugging in to anything. Amazing to see this 1980's computer in a 2009 commercial!
Wow! A Commodore 64 computer! Someone's paying homage. lol

Also - that's not a C=64C, it is an original, albeit gray version, of the breadbox.

Too bad it's not the old "breadbox" but the "doorstop" C64C... :D

The "monitor" on the C64 looks like a dumb-terminal, not a composite monitor.
