"Any cereal keeps me feeling swell as long as it's Post Bran Flakes"

YES, LIFE IS SWELL WHEN you KEEP WELL---with Post's (delicious!) 40% Bran Flakes. You get all the "keep regular" benefits of bran— in a cereal that tastes so good lots of people eat it for the flavor alone!

Maybe that explains why Post is the largest-selling bran flakes in the world.

Terminal for rent ads : "Terminal Problem Solvers" - American Terminal Leasing - Jan 1979 in c/vintageads@sh.itjust.works
[–] letme_meowmeow@sh.itjust.works 5 points 4 weeks ago

Terminal is where you enter text, send to your computer, and it send some text back. This is a terminal on modern computer. Modern computer have terminal bundle in with the computer too. terminal

But in 1970s-1980, computer are big, it is more a server than a computer. You need a separate device to connect to your computer, type command and send to your computer. That device call a terminal. It still function same way today: you type text in, it send to computer, it get response, show to you.

Terminal also print text history to paper, or show on screen, or both, depend on device you get.
