16 hilariously unimpressive computer ads

Unintentional comedy is one of the consequences of Moores Law (that computer power doubles every two years) and almost any claim made in a computer ad more than a decade old.
Included here are claims that compared to the Macbook Air that I am writing this on, a computer with 2 million times less RAM will “satisfy your lust for power”; that a computer a thousand times slower will give you “answers fast” for demanding applications and that a computer with several thousand times the volume is “compact and mobile”.
