![]() Here’s a TV commercial for Windows 3.0 or Windows 3.1 from 1991: It was through this release that the company made the IBM-compatible PC a true competitor to the Apple Macintosh and the Commodore Amiga, through its graphical operating system. You could order one by mail, or even by email. In 1990, the PowerMax 386/33 from Northgate Computer was available for sale. It was manufactured and sold from 1990 to 1993. It worked under the control of NeXTSTEP operating system. Its black body gave it a special style and focus on the serious challenges, both in business and in science. The NeXTcube workstation was cast into a cube-like shape, with each side being 12 inches. The company NeXT was founded by Steve Jobs in 1985. You’ll never be able to look at your gadgets the same way again. To prove it, I’ve unearthed some retro computer ads that give you a first-hand look into how computers were advertised before the modern age of smartphones, ultrabooks, and smart watches. But back in the day, people would get excited when they saw ads announcing even 10 megabyte hard drives. You can buy a terabyte hard drive for $50. ![]() By Ilya Pestov How PCs were advertised in the 1990s
