The first home computer I remember seeing was my friend Andre’s Commodore 64 that hooked to his TV.  I couldn’t figure out why it was so cool since it WAS a computer, which implied work to me, and not just a game system like my beloved Atari 2600.  Shows what a fool I was.

Check out the video below which is a commercial from around 1982 for a Commodore Vic20.  You can also find a whole bunch of old computer commercials that track the evolution of the PC here.
