"Portable 2 Compared to This Fish" - JOHN CLEESE Compaq Ad
Loading...
Uploaded by CompaqVet on Oct 18, 2006
One of many wonderful commercials John Cleese did for Compaq Computer Corporation in the mid to late '80s.
A very rare find and a treasure for any John Cleese fan, these classic ads were shown only in Great Britian.

@TheSmithersy The computer that allowed for navigation, guidance and control of spacecrafts in Apollo program had total memory of 2048 words + 36 kilowords; each word consisting of 16 bits, which gives us... roughly under 600 bits, so about 75 bytes. This computer had 4,1 x 1024(kilobytes in MB) x 1024 (bytes in kilobyte)= 4299161,6 bytes, roughly 57'322 times more memory than the machine that landed us on the friggin moon.
Neither was able to run Angry Birds.

The only way this could be better is if it was a dead parrot.

If this is the Compaq Portable 2, I wanna see what the Compaq Portable 1 looks like.
I'm envisioning a Big Rig Truck Trailer with a keyboard taped to the side.

@rodanmedia Luckily, today's computers pack much more punch than yesterday' computers. XD

That 22 pound number is pretty lightweight compared to desktops of the day. I had at desktop that weighed in at about 35 pounds ... before you added the external hard drive and the printer. Oy!

4.1 MB? Unheard of! Next thing you know, they'll be selling computers that can store more than 1 GB and have flat monitors!
