Apple M6531 Harman Kardon G4 PowerMac and iMac Pro Speakers
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. Another set in original box is also available for $85, click the speakers label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing 1997 Fight Tyranny Macworld poster
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

Harmon Kardon SoundSticks III speakers
These SoundSticks are brand new in the original sealed retail box, complete with manufacturer's warranty. Available for local pickup in Nelson BC for $195CDN or with shipping at cost in Canada depending on location. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
From the manufacturer: Few multimedia sound systems can boast that their predecessor was part of the permanent collection at New York City’s Museum of Modern Art (MoMA), but that’s exactly the claim the SoundSticks III speaker system can make. Taking its older sibling’s celebrated design even further, the SoundSticks III look is cutting-edge with a modern industrial design aesthetic, elegant black accents and a luminescent white LED glow. And though the SoundSticks III system may look like a visitor from the future with its transparent speaker covers, its exceptional performance makes it a more-than-worthy encore to its pop-culture predecessor.
Review | Cult of Mac: It’s rare that you can point to an accessory and say “Jony Ive” designed that, but with the Harman Kardon Soundsticks, that’s literally true.

Apple iPad2 4x6 ft bus shelter posters
Posters of this size of such high quality are hard to find and were never available outside of a few major US cities. They are backlit posters that were displayed mainly in LA bus shelters and select movie theaters. The double-sided printing gives an extremely life-like look to the poster when light is placed behind it. They were printed in limited numbers, which makes them rare and hard to get as most are destroyed after use and are not available otherwise. These two highly collectible Apple iPad2 posters are priced at $190 for the set with shipping at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
- another set of the iPad2 posters are available but they were bent on one side in mailing and are $90/set or both sets for $250 plus postage - photos here

vintage Apple product posters random grouping #3
Apple product placement posters circa 2010/11. that's 18 so far. there are duplicates occasionally, this time it is the black MacBook Air poster. shipping will be a factor - would not want any damage so possibly lightly rolled into a box then that box into another with padding all around. shipping flat may mean a puncture would get all of them so maybe the factory cardboard inside a larger box or you arrange a courier pick-up... local pick up in BC Canada would be best but that is limited these days too.
if i find more i'll just include them - the price for all 25 posters is $20 apiece for a total of $500USD. i just want to liquidate and keep trips to the post office to a minimum. all posters go as a lot - no individual sales at 20 bucks a pop. packing, safe shipping and insurance are going to be an issue but we can work something out. to see all 4 lots click the poster lots 123 and 4 label below

Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster + a signed Kozik proof
The poster was designed by Frank Kozik, and features his 'Puggo' version of Sluggo from the Nancy comic that provoked threats of a lawsuit. It is the actual "Let's Kick Intel's Ass" poster that was pulled the first day of Macworld. Only a few of these posters were handed out before one of the PC "suits" decided that they would no longer distribute them. 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
A companion signed Kozik poster that was the basis for the KickAss poster is also available - it is an artist proof #626/1750 and priced at $175 - buy both for $425 and that includes shipping.Power Computing Corporation - Wikipedia
