its weird how 80s computer commercials the computers were all about graphs and pie charts and thats about it....todays are all about the internet lol:P I dont think people would be awed by tacky boring graphs today!!

@manhatin Actually, the answer is not at all "Watson". It is "Bell". Read the formulation of the question carefully, gentlemen.

Thanks for posting the Watson commercial. I've been searching for this for years.

Does somebody here have or know some more PCjr commercials?

It wasn't the REAL Charlie Chaplin (ho ho).
Those discs look like pizza boxes.

Oh my goodness, how far we've come since the 80's. It has happened so fast we just don't realize just how far. It's so cool to see these old commercials. Thanks for sharing.

@Rubiglo
Yep, just twenty five years ago, a pie chart in color was a big deal.

The facts are flawed, sir. He is talking about Dr. John H. Watson, friend of detective Sherlock Holmes. HOWEVER, that is NOT who the AT&T commercial is referring to.
That is Alexander Graham Bell's (Bell Laboratories) assistant Thomas Augustus Watson.

You are correct, sir. It was late when I posted and I simply "goofed up". I have corrected my error. Thanks !
