I'll have to ask my friend Jason if he really knows who his father is. Cause dang it he looks like this guy.
I remember having a Gordon Gekko phone and beepers for work in the late 80’s ?
I don't remember any piece of "computer" being that small in 80's. I remember IBM "luggable" from end of 80's being size of large roll-on suitcase.
Geez, I haven't seen a pay phone in a while...
Brings back a horrible memory of my motorcycle breaking down in Newark, NJ leaving me walking around trying to find a non smashed pay phone to call for help.

Ah, the good old days when times were bad. Nice looking guy in the Ad.
I remember back in the late '70s, building my own modem because even the cheapest were in the $$$ price range. Then in the early '80s, bought a KAYPRO 10 "portable" computer for $3,200, running CPM with a...get this...10 mb hard drive and two high density 5.25" floppies!
Ah, those were the days, lol.

I remember feeling like a very important guy with that 20 lb. portable car phone. I was sure the ladies were impressed......
A little later than this, but I remember in the early 90s, lusting after the computer equipment in the Frys electronics ads. I really wanted that 4gb hard drive that was 500 bucks. Now I don’t even think I own a flash drive that’s as SMALL as 4gb
That and a Members Only jacket and you were gonna score.
My first computer memories basically involve this guy:
I remember the Smart Beep pager TV adverts. You would never be allowed to show these on TV today!
Hey, that’s Bert from Valerie/Hogan’s Family. I believe his real name is Steve Whitting.... a great character actor in the vein of Chelsea Ross, Bruce Davison, Stephen Tobolosky, etc
Wow, you just reactivated something in the distant reaches of the back of my cerebrum that hadn't been accessed in about 25 years. I remember again...the trees that catch fire when you crash into them, the dogs that urinate in the snow...and how could I forget that blasted yeti? Curse him!
