Celebrity Computer Commercials
November 25th, 2009 by ComputerBob
Nowadays, very few celebrities are known for their technological intelligence.
In fact, I doubt that many of them can even turn on a computer; let alone use one.
But a few decades ago, several personal computer companies hired celebrities to be spokespeople in their TV commercials.
I started using personal computers back in 1979, and I remember most of what one Web site calls The 10 Best Celebrity Computer Ads Of The 1980s.
In fact, I also remember all of those celebrities and most of those computers.
I even owned one of the computers — the Texas Instruments TI 99/4a.
But Bill Cosby had absolutely no influence on my purchasing decision.
