    Fascinating. And “punch a key” sounds so charming, 5 decades later.

    According to the internet, this ad’s been around between '77 and '81 and “it wasn’t running (…) in mainstream consumer magazines; this ad was targeted at computer enthusiasts and run in computer news magazines like Computerworld and Datamation! The general public wouldn’t become aware of e-mail until the '90s.”

            I think in the ptkfgs timeline it would be not even quake music and a dog.
