On a related subject...

Did anyone notice that in the late 70's, early 80's, that PR1ME computers in
Australia were advertised by... Tom Baker!  Yes, that's right, two or three
commercials were made explaining that, by George, the next best thing to a
Tardis was a prime 750 level II.  Shazam.  Perhaps he used it as something
for K-9 to lift his leg at...

I didn't see the commercial, but I saw stills, and boy, it was 'orrible.  I
don't know if they were only used at trade shows, or if the rest of the
Australian nation was subjected to them.

Anyone add more information?
