Gateway 2000 commercial (1994) - The smooth talkin' Daddy

Check out all the powerhouse Gateway 2000 machines that are now in landfills around the globe! This video is direct from an ancient Gateway 2000 CDROM that came with one of their 486DX/2 50MHz desktops from 1994. Gateway was very excited about CDROMs and "multimedia" back then, like everyone else, and loaded the disk up with not only restore data, but also lots of strange videos, images, and audio.

In this classy production, dad fools daughter into loving the budget rig, then heads to his lair filled with the real machines. Sweet. :)

@SickSadWorldOnline Back then the CD-ROM drives would send the audio straight to the sound card through a separate connection.
