After having gone missing in my papers for 30 years, the original ad has been found!

The bottom half (shown here) features what we called the Computer "Toad" (actually a tree frog), and it still features prominently on my ancient ISP-provided tilde page. The photo was a mascot around the office for quite a while.

No idea what the ad was for (AT&T / NCR?), but ... enjoy!

#Frogs #TreeFrogs #RetroAds #ATT #NCR

A mottled green and brown frog sits facing away from us on a moss-covered surface at a now-vintage white computer, with its front legs resting on the keyboard in a typing position. The frog has warty, textured skin with dark and light green patches. The scene is surrounded by lush green moss and has a waterfall in the background, creating a whimsical, surreal composition that suggests the frog is working at a computer workstation.The full original ad, showing the entire CRT monitor, with waterfall wallpaper that is a smaller version of the waterfall behind the computer, with giant black letters filling the screen "We make it easy to be green". Two logo at top left of the monitor: a classic AT&T logo with globe, and red-cap-blocks "NCR" with footer "An AT&T Company". There is a slightly non-perpendicular lighter-colored folding mark just under the bottom edge of the monitor, where the physical ad page was folded in storage.

Well that escalated quickly. 🎆🇺🇸

I planned to share some goofy 4th of July ads & fireworks PSAs, ended up with Ford Rangers, British kids losing fingers, Crazy Eddie melting down, and me rethinking fireworks safety forever. 🦅🔥

Back in 1971, new tech innovations announced themselves rather modestly in comparison to today. A tv or magazine ad. Maybe. CBS Records, chose to introduce the 'latest thing' - in this instance their audio tape formats - on one side of the paper inner sleeve of the LP you just bought. (On the other side of the inner sleeve was a selection of other releases on the label. This was common practice throughout the 60s). And what a load of information you got! :o

#8track
#Cassette
#RetroAds
#Vinyl

A scan of a paper inner sleeve for a vinyl record from 1971. At the top is a drawing of a man and woman sitting in the front seat of their car, choosing a tape to play on their car stereo.
Surrounding the drawing is a lot of text explaining what cassettes and 8-track tapes are and how they work.
