Power Computing VIP Boston Macworld 1996 t-shirt

This is a rare version of the 1996 Power Computing "We're Fighting Back For The Mac" promotional T-shirt featuring the infamous Frank Kozik designed Sluggo/Puggo that launched a lawsuit from Nancy Comics. On the back is Power Computing 1996 Boston Macworld Expo and an unusual MacWorld MVB V.I.P.  on one sleeve. There was a VIP room at the Mama Kin Music Hall in Boston in 1995, not sure about the details for '96. MVB might be Most Valuable Bruin but that is conjecture. The shirt has been worn and washed several times over the years and has some lightly discolored areas that are noticeable up close but none on the area of the graphics. A dry cleaning might help but a washing did not clean it as much as I had hoped. It is still a good wearable or collectible shirt from the days before Steve Jobs ended the Apple clone program. It is a Lofteez brand size XL made in the USA of 100% preshrunk cotton by Fruit of the Loom.

This classic '96 VIP Power Computing T-shirt is priced at $85 with mailing at cost of postage. There is a companion poster and other versions of this shirt available as well, click the Power Computing label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster + a signed Kozik proof

This is a Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster with a "Sluggo" design by Frank Kozik. This 20" by 22" poster has been kept rolled for over 20 years. The poster is in great condition, no tears, no stains but it does have a pinhole in each corner.

The poster was designed by Frank Kozik, and features his 'Puggo' version of Sluggo from the Nancy comic that provoked threats of a lawsuit.

They were removed from the booth and the show-floor locations where they were being handed out. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the Mac clone program was ended.

This super rare Macworld Power Computing Mac clone poster is priced at $275 with mailing at cost of postage. It will be shipped insured inside a heavy cardboard tube. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

vintage 17" Apple LCD acrylic ADC monitor

In May 2001, Apple released a 17" Studio Display (Model No: M7649) with a native resolution of 1280x1024. The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable. The unit is in very good condition and features a single cord ADC plug that connects to the PowerMac ADC port. A swipe of the finger on the lower right corner powers up the tower and monitor. Photo shows monitor in use on a G4 Quicksilver tower in this photo from November 24, 2021.

Apple introduced it with the Dual Processor Mystic Power Mac G4 and new ADC monitors in July 2000, removing the industry standard DVI port previously found on the Sawtooth Power Mac G4. ADC remained a standard feature of Power Macs through the 2004 Power Mac G5; ADC was not present on the 2005 Power Mac G5, and Apple resumed use of the DVI connector alongside ADC with the Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4 in August 2002.

Rare Power Computing Kozik Macworld "The Counter Assault Begins" poster collection

This is a rare and hard to find Frank Kozik "The Counter Assault Begins" poster. It measures approximately 21" x 34". The main text is: Power Computing - The Counter-Assault Begins. Macworld San Francisco 1997. Join Power Computing in Fighting Back for the Mac!

The original owner had this to say about it: "This poster is in great condition and has been in a protective storage since I acquired it during the 1997 Macworld Expo in San Francisco and was unrolled only to take this picture." This Apple clone poster was designed by punk rock poster artist Frank Kozik and was distributed at Macworld. "Kozik is best known to Macintosh users for these in-your-face illustrations for now-defunct Mac-clone maker Power Computing."

"Power Computing was the most successful of the Mac clone manufacturers in the mid to late 90's prior to Steve Job's return to Apple and putting an end to all the clone makers. Power Computing's booth at Macworld '97 in San Francisco was a big party. They rented Hummers, had mini flags with the company logo hanging from the front of the hood field marshal-style, and wore urban camouflage fatigues and berets."

"Their slogan was 'We're fighting back for the Mac!'  Their stated enemy was Microsoft, which pissed off the Microsoft people, as they would stand with a microphone on their stage and hurl barbs and insults in the direction of the Microsoft pavilion."
Apple history note: Macintosh clone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he halted negotiations of upcoming licensing deals with OS licensees that Apple executives complained were still financially unfavorable.... Apple bought Power Computing's Mac clone business for $100 million, ending the Clone era.

This highly collectible vintage poster is priced at $350 USD plus postage. The matching 1994 original poster titled People's Victory that this one was "cloned" from by Frank Kozik for Power Computing is also available for $200. It is an artist's proof (A/P) and is pencil signed by Kozik. Click photos for larger images. There are other rare Kozik PowerComputing posters and shirts for sale - click the labels below.

vintage Apple G3 and G4 plastic collection

some random Macintosh plastics - the G3 B/W front piece is an impossible to find factory NOS with protective cover still on. The G4 Graphite front piece has both optional doors - a rarity indeed.

On the green background is a rainbow cord and a rare factory sealed NOS VGA-ready rear cover plate for the G3 iMac with the affixed label in 7 languages. I prefer to sell as a lot so $100USD and you get all the plastics - add $10 for the rainbow power cord. Shipping is from western Canada so guessing at least $30 shipping to the States. A rainbow power cord is also available for $10 more.

Power Computing 1997 Fight Tyranny Macworld poster

This is a super rare Power Computing poster from the 1997 San Francisco Macworld. The text is "The Fight Against Tyranny Begins! Join the Mac Resistance!" This Apple clone poster was designed by punk rock poster artist Frank Kozik who did a series of them for PowerComputing in the mid '90's until Steve Jobs returned to Apple and ended the clone program later that year.

At the January 1997 Macworld Expo, Power Computing fired up the Mac faithful with its “Fight Back for the Mac!” campaign, complete with company reps dressed in camouflage uniforms circling the Expo hall in Hummers emblazoned with Power Computing logos.

This poster was collected at the January Moscone Center Macworld Expo and the original owner had this to say: "The Power Computing booth was out of this poster by the time I got there, but a peripheral manufacturing company (whose name escapes me) was displaying this - hence the staple holes. Anyway they said I could have it if I came back at the end of the day. So I did! As mentioned, this does have some holes where it was stapled to a display board." It measures approx. 23" by 32" and the staple holes in top and bottom white space should cover when framed.

This highly collectible and nearly impossible to find vintage poster is priced at $350 and that includes insured postage in a heavy cardboard tube. There are other vintage and rare posters and shirts from the Power Computing era available - click the labels below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Damaged Apple personal computers poster circa 1980

This rare original Apple poster measures 23" x 33" and the text is "personal computers apple" with a copyright of 1980. In the lower left corner is MSR# M30-0580 50K. It features the first official Apple logo designed by Rob Janoff in 1977.

Except for this photo it has never been hung or displayed -- however it arrived in the mail damaged with creases and small scratches all the way down just right of center. Sad but still frameable until you get something better... photos are on a larger white paper.

Prior to the first Macintosh and the switch to the Garamond font, Apple used a typeface called Motter Tektura alongside the Apple logo, and the bite was designed to fit the curve of the letter "a". This poster shows a large bitten rainbow apple logo that was in use from 1976 to 1998.

I hesitate to charge for this poster but will include it if you want in any poster collection you purchase with a value of $250 USD or more -- click the collection or poster label below.

Apple M6531 Harman Kardon G4 PowerMac and iMac Pro Speakers

These Apple Pro Speakers feature powerful Harman Kardon audio technology. They connect to your Power Mac G4 desktop systems using a single cable which provides 20 watts of sound (10 watts/channel) to the speakers with a frequency range of 70 hertz to 20 kilohertz.

Apple Pro Speakers are different from the speakers that came with the Power Mac G4 Cube: While the Apple Pro Speakers look very similar to the Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, the Apple Pro Speakers get their power from the computer and require a system with an Apple speaker minijack like the one on the G4 Power Mac tower and G4 iMac. The Power Mac G4 Cube speakers, on the other hand, are USB-powered and are designed to work only with Power Mac G4 Cube systems. Also, the G4 Cube speakers have an external amplifier, whereas the Power Mac G4 has an internal amplifier that supports the Apple Pro Speakers.

The analog-based speakers require systems with an Apple speaker minijack. They are not USB-based speaker. Be advised that the cording is beige not white. They are priced at $50 with shipping at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
