★★★★★ · UNIVAC or UNIBLAB? · cosmicola · 2009-06-15
I love old ads (especially for something like UNIVAC), but the previous review is worth 4 stars alone. He writes like I do when I've had too much Cherry Coke! :) But seriously folks, I'm old enough to remember the era when things like laser beams and Project Apollo and UNIVAC were wonders of the far future. A decade later, these advanced machines ended up as set decoration in sci-fi b-movies. Then, a decade after that, they became rusty scrap metal. I'm still waiting for my anti-gravity boots...
