BUYING A PASSWORD MODEM CAN SAVE YOU UP TO $250. (Jul, 1984)

I don’t understand the “AND THAT AIN’T HAYES!”. I mean, I know that Hayes was the dominant modem at the time, but what is the reference to? It sounds like it should be “and that ain’t pocket change” or something…

BUYING A PASSWORD MODEM CAN SAVE YOU UP TO $250.

AND THAT AIN’T HAYES!

You can bank on it. Your outlay will be less than if you settle for our major competitor, but not your output! A Password'” modem sends and receives up to 120 words a minute. Provides both 1200 and 300 baud capacity. Offers total interchangeability that lets you transmit information from any make microcomputer to any other make. And your investment is protected by a 2-year warranty.

“When you’re out of Schlitz, you’re out of beer.” (Feb, 1968)

Do not pass go. We are out of Schlitz.”

Try the taste of the most carefully brewed beer in the world. The beer that takes 1,174 careful brewing steps. Schlitz. Real gusto in the great light beer.

Smoke a Fresh cigarette (Jul, 1931)

If you haven’t smoked a Camel recently, switch over for just one day, then quit them — if you can.

That’s a bit ominous.

Smoke a Fresh cigarette

Millions of men and women are now discovering a brand new enjoyment since Camels adopted the new Humidor Pack.

The mildness and the flavor of fine tobacco vanish when scorching or evaporation steals the natural moisture out of a cigarette.

Take your pick of the litter. (May, 1982)

I love the idea of having a phone handset hanging off the side of an Apple II.

Take your pick of the litter.

When you’re ready to let your computer out and introduce it to the rest of the world, one of the Cat family of Modems is the way to do it.

Take your pick. You can’t go wrong They’re all purebreds—from Novation, the recognized world leader in personal communications.

Be careful before you answer. GENIAC® the first electrical brain construction kit is equipped to play tic-tac-toe, cipher and encipher codes, convert from binary to decimal, reason in syllogisms, as well as add, subtract, multiply and divide. Specific problems in a variety of fields—actuarial, policy claim settlement, physics, etc., can be set up and solved with the components. Connections are solderless and are completely explained with templates in the manual. This covers 33 circuits and shows how new ones can be designed.
