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!

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