thanks to seth godin, who brought this site to our attention last week. it’s been my new 2nd favorite time killer after the lost season 5 dvd set i got for xmas.
it’s called the vintage ad browser (www.vintageadbrowser.com) and it does what it says. you can search for and browse through over 100,000 vintage ads. this is what mad men fans like myself live for (i bet the writers for that show knew about this site way before we did)
here are some of my favorites:
this one i couldn’t resist. gotta love the floppy disk he’s holding up…
and, this sure looks like a great deal. 64K RAM for $1,495!
this was the predecessor to Sinclair’s ZX Spectrum – my first computer that i started coding BASIC on when i was 9… oh, good old days…
believe it or not, i still have that Sinclair ZX Spectrum. it’s hanging on the wall in my office. here’s a picture of it.
vintage ads also have a sister site called coverbrowser (http://www.coverbrowser.com).
enjoy!
