I was working for Packard Bell in Sacramento when they made this commercial.. it was pretty exciting when they gave us the preview of it. Imagine seeing it after all these years.

I wish computer commercials were all like this. Now all they care about is saying their 16 MB of ram is the best! lol. (my first comp. was a packard bell w/16 mb or ram, still have it!).

Who directed this piece? Has he or she moved on to feature work? I've been watching this ad over and over since I found it and it's making me misty-eyed. It's truly a work of art.

I remember when I first caught this commercial back in 1996...I remember that it would give me chills every time I saw it and it still gives me chills today. It's quite possibly one of the most haunting ads I've ever seen. This clip oozes with atmosphere and I love every bit of it.

According to Ellen Ullman, this video "reflects the ultimate suburbanization of existence: a retreat from the friction of the social space to the supposed idyll of private ease." In other words, Packard Bell is trying to sell us the idea that it is better just to stay at home and on our computer rather than interact in that messy world with all those people. It's a message that is ultimately anti-democratic.
