Isaac Asimov had the coolest sideburns of all times.

Oh and about this ad; Asimov might have said the first two quotes, I could even go out on a limb and say he might’ve had said the THIRD quote, but there is NO WAY he voluntarily uttered the fourth. No way.

Those sideburns have always scared me…

Indeed, the TRS-80 Color Computer is a nice system. It was the first computer I ever owned, and I currently have one hooked up to my television. I do not know if this system is upgraded or not, and I am trying to figure that out.

Kitsune: Yes. “CoCo” is short for “Color Computer.”

Ooh, ‘Super Bust-Out’? If only it came with Space Intruders, Ping, and Mariano Bros.

According to his posthumous autobiography, Asimov actually used a TRS-80 (to the end of his life) as a word processor. He would only endorse a product he actually used. And he never moved on to a newer machine.

Did any of the other spokesmodels actually use their computers? _Maybe_ Alan Alda with Atari. I doubt Cosby (or anyone else) used a TI. No way Shatner gave a fuck.
