I really don't see a problem with this message.

OK, it was a commercial advert, but AFAIK neither adverts or non-hobby
messages are banned here.

It was _one_ message, plain text, and wasn't exceessively long (and since
it was only one message, it's not been posted too often).

It was _certainly_ on-topic. It does relate to classic computers. OK,
many of us like to run old peripherals too, but not always. I seem to
remember a message a couple of weeks back about a 'great hardware hack'
interfacing a modern hard disk to an HP mini. Why was that on-topic and
the commercial equivalent not?

Please don't. Yes, please remove off-topic SPAM, but adverts related to
classic computers, commercial or not, should be allowed here provided
the same advert doesn't start appearing too often.
