I rented-out a dozen of my old computers to some Hollywood people for use in a Motorola
TV commercial, to possibly be shown during the Superbowl.
Includes systems from the 70s and 80s, like Sol-20, TRS-80, Osborne 1, SX-64, etc.
Keep an eye out for it!
Steven,
Did they happen to say what the theme of the commercial is? Perhaps the computers will
serve as technology backdrops to the evolution of their phones?
Best,
