Here’s another interesting piece of advertising history. I’m not sure what’s more impressive: the hair or the way the computer is swinging! I came across this ad in an old magazine, probably from the 1980s. The price tag of $1,795 seems quite steep, and when adjusted for inflation in 2025, that would be about $6,799.
Although I recall buying a fax machine around that time, it cost around $1,400 at the time. Times have surely changed.

I’m a dreamer at heart, proudly born and raised in San Francisco—a city that covers just 49 square miles but was heaven on earth for me. Every corner of The City (as we natives affectionately call it) has been a part of my life. No area ever felt too distant. With wide eyes and an open heart, I’ve always welcomed the world around me. I find joy in creativity, wonder, and discovering new possibilities—whether that’s through international work adventures or dreaming up the next exciting idea. Even though San Francisco was my hometown, my passport has taken me to many amazing places and introduced me to wonderful people, shaping me in countless ways. I carry pieces of these experiences and friendships with me wherever I go. Above all, I treasure my family, friends, and those small, meaningful moments that keep my spirit alive and thriving. I never want my curiosity to fade away.
