[TROUSERFLAP]

This is very indeed.

[Applemask]

@TROUSERFLAP Absolutotally.

[toasterdevil]

499 pounds? Thank goodness computers are so much lighter these days! I wonder how it didn't break the desk!!!!

[blaster2012]

@toasterdevil Lets not forget more powerful too!

[bigbadwolf1959]

genius, absolute genius

[hotelmario510]

Microsoft Word comes knock on that wordy-processor's door nowadays to beat him up for money.

[Applemask]

@hotelmario510 I would use Locoscript twenty seven times before MS Word. Bastard thing.

[hotelmario510]

I like it. OpenOffice is like the illegitimate bastard child of Java and Microsoft Word.

[Applemask]

@hotelmario510 Yeah, not fond of OpenOffice either to be honest. But at least it has never driven me to genuine rage almost every time I've used it.

Of course, WordStar will always be king.

[HaniiPuppy]

He must have been able to play hell with people who speak english as a second language XD

[JapeUK]

Just played his album to an Austrian exchange student, oh the mental carnage. :D

[HaniiPuppy]

rofl XD

[katiegreenaway]

So glad he will be remembered. I wanted to be able to talk like this as a child! Still would really. Was ha from Norfolk/Suffol;k?

[Applemask]

He was actually born in South Africa.

[katiegreenaway]

Deeply felt gratitudinals for this extract of amplifolding knowlishaft. My optical sinews are boldily opened for the futuresque excusibolds!

[timkirk1ux]

Hi there! I was the secretary in this ad and just to let you know Stanley was a terrific old boy

[Applemask]

I knew I recognised you from elsewhere, you were in Doctor Who! The very last one of the original series! "Flipping cats, it's the owners I blame."

[timkirk1ux]

Blimey! I'm impressed. My friends used to joke that one small appearance from me ended one of the most popular, long-running series! They had better not give me another role in the new one!

[millerlass]

wow...you lucky thing, i am fascinated by the man and his extraordinary talent... i wonder if it would be possible for you to teach me unwinese??

cheers

[kolonelklink1001]

@timkirk1ux He certainly was, and is much missed.

[sonicjay007]

yhankey..be goodtrack!

[wisteela]

Love it. I can kind of remember this ad.

I've actually got a PCW 8256.

[queenastilon]

Thanks so much for this. Word Processors, daisy-wheel printers and good old Stanley... nostalgia orgy.

[GrahamMercer]

The voice over at the ends sounds like it's by the late Simon Cadell (Jeffrey Fairbrother from "Hi-de-hi"), I wonder if it is him?!!

[Applemask]

If it's not him, it someone doing a damn good impression. He did a lot of adverts.

[dunebasher1971]

Yes, it's Simon Cadell. As Applemask says, he did a huge number of advert voiceovers in the 80s. For many years it wasn't unusual to hear his voice in almost every single break, advertising something or other.

[davidoffon]

I ve just been told Im like him ,is this good, curried of tunwidge brells

[tahitiwibble]

This Sir is a deeply complimold!

[drummerjohn49]

Ah Stanley Unwin in talkie clipmould what deep joy!

[ISBAILEYDEADYET]

Its official..Im old.

[imagos]

£499+vat for a crap word processor no better than spell checker on microsoft word?! sweet jesus! how times change!

[queenastilon]

Late reply and rather boring, but...

That price was for the complete dedicated word processing machine and the printer - the spell checker was a new thing and part of the included software.

Mind you, 500 quid was a hell of lot in those days but a PC cost around £1,000 - no printer and you had to buy word processing software. I used WordStar before WordPerfect started dominating the market.

Now I really feel old.

[anbreatnach]

LOL...absolute classic, I had actually forgotten about this advert. Thanks for posting Applemask.

[flowerbower]

Searchy searchy on the Youtobe: "john searl story".

[Deanonottz]

A classic clip of the Unwinesse language from the late professor Stanley Unwin! "Oh sacrolade for the sliding needlode or saphire through the groovers of a disky right to the middling as it tocs on to your eardropers"!
