One of many wonderful commercials John Cleese did for Compaq Computer Corporation in the mid to late '80s. This one is so completely British in its approach that some Americans may be left scratching their heads.

A very rare find and a treasure for any John Cleese fan, these classic ads were shown only in England.

1. It's British.
2. Compaq was/is/will be horrible.
3. It's not that witty.

I agree with your list. Compaq has been a troll, trolling for dollars for years now. They'll never give up.

i have a 6 year old compaq that still works perfectly fine. only upgrades have been an extra hardrive and some usb 2.0 ports. use my laptop more now, but the compaq has been a trooper.

Compaq makes some rather excellent server hardware.
