Hope I can post this here.

We're decorating our office with vintage advertisements. I'd like to hand something keyboard or computer related. Any suggestions for goods ad?

Have a great day!

Take a look at this thread if you haven't already: photos-f62/ibm-review-posters-t16737.html

I'm a sucker for IBM advertisements myself, here are some I really like (mostly found on vintagecomputing.com):

mr_a500 used to post lots of vintage computer ads, problem being most of them are low-res and usable for phone / tablet walls at best.

We did find some good ones in preperation for DTA6 last year, you may find them in our archive. Here's a nice one:

That was a good choice - classy, nice 50's colour, the hint of a lovely young girl (without the disappointment of seeing that maybe it's not). :D

There are plenty of nice ads out there. The problem is finding them large enough for a poster.
