    LOL! It had on me more or less the same effects described by all of you. The point is: how could it sell with such a poor, moronic, bad advert!?!? I think it's a good thing to show to the Windows fanatics So pathetic...

    Haven't been feeling well all day. Now I have to go vomit after that 12 minutes.

    Gotta love the ending tagline though. "MIcrosoft Windows/386 The Sould of a New Machines"

    Watching her use the word processor though made me remember that we had Windows 386 at one time while I was in high school. That word processor sucked big time. I always had trouble with getting my margins right, and spacing correct. The only good thing I can remember about that computer is Mahjongg. We had a copy of the game on a disk.

    This looks more like something used in office training seminars.

    But, if you think back to the late 80s, that would have been considered high tech--the creme of the crop. A must-have item for businesses. It doesn't look like it was being sold to home computer users (not too many of them around back then) but for businesses. A word processor, spreadsheet, telenet connection were huge pluses in a business world.

    Gotta love old commercials
