In 1996 Packard Bell put out a commercial that tried to show urban existence as negative with the point of the commercial being that using a Packard Bell computer "You can do it all from home". Librarians objected to the negative image of the library. The commercial has storm trooper like characters marching around the library shushing people. Packard Bell changed the commercial and lifted out the library scenes. The version here shows the library scene.

  • A buddy of mine reloaded the video. If you search for iBookWatch and look under his videos you will find this video. The sound is perfect on that upload.

  • Wow, this came out in '96? It looks like something that would have been released a few years ago...

    Way ahead of its time.

  • My first computer was a Packard Bell, bought in 1995. It was a nice computer.

  • @TheReapersSon No; it looks like it would have come out around that time. :/

  • I miss the days of these Packard Bells, quite possibly the best computers ever built, my Legend 814CD still works like Brand New. Only thing I ever did was upgraded to a bigger WD HD, RAM, and Ethernet Card.

  • lookskinda like apple's 1984, almost

  • @DirtyNerd86 lmao @ that for real.

  • Damn I feel old...

  • ...and then the internet came back on.

  • I was working at Packard Bell in Sacramento when they released this commercial

    I still have a couple of slides from that commercial

  • Am I the only one, who upon hearing the Intel Pentium Jingle... would hear "Bitch! We're Packard-Bell!" along to the tones?

  • This commercial is so damn beautiful. It's not advertising, it's art!
