All hail the wayback machine ...
« on: April 24, 2005, 01:26:01 AM »
Ok, we've all had a go at the wayback machine and laughed at some of the rubbish we used to look at ... but today I had a bit of a brainwave.

Now back in the day I used to like the ads for Power Computing in the mags - they had nice pics etc, the specs, and one could dream 'oh, if only I didn't have to pay for food I could afford this that and the other' ... anyway, I figured I'd go time-travel window-shopping, and ended up HERE.

My wife started getting a little worried when I started growling, squinting and drooling ... but then she saw it was just me looking at Amiga stuff :lol:

It's just the whole range and availability that got me - that list is from '97, when plenty of people were saying the Amiga scene was dying.

If you go up a level there's stuff like the old ad for Breathless and stuff ...
