Impeach? Are you having a laugh? I'd vote disembowelling for the C64 comment alone!

Just for the record 'I did not play Last Ninja 3 on the Amiga 500 with that woman, Ms. Lewinsky.'
I just love all things retro! My main love will always be the Spectrum, but you have to know what the competition has to offer

Re: TI99/4A Emulator Online
with these sweater colors i find this ad somewhat disturbing, it looks like a frame from certain horror movie series

I'm not sure we want to go down the Bill Cosby discussion route [mention]Juan F. Ramirez[/mention]!
There are some nice early computer adverts within this collection:

That doesn't seem a very good salary, even for the early 80s!Juan F. Ramirez wrote: ↑Mon Apr 27, 2020 10:29 am Yeah, Pinterest is full of funny old computing stuff:

Re: TI99/4A Emulator Online
I thought that too [mention]Firefox[/mention]. Looking at this, the average salary for men was around £154 per week for men, and £99 for women in 1982.
If you average those out and multiply by 52 you get around £6,500.

Re: TI99/4A Emulator Online
This advert looks to be from the very early 70's though; if you look in the background, you can see posters which mention the shift to decimal currency (which occurred on the 15th of February, 1971).
According to the Bank of England's inflation calculator, £2000 in 1970 would be worth around £31,171 today.

That would make more sense [mention]PROSM[/mention]. 1976 average for men was £70 per week, so that's £3640. So, assuming it's earlier than that it sounds better. Good spot with the posters!

Re: TI99/4A Emulator Online
I see signing a job contract in the computing sector in 1976 was a wild thing!

That makes more sense, then.
