Here's to the Crazy Ones | Think Different

poem by Apple Computers Inc.

                         Here's
                        to the
      crazy ones,      the       misfits,
   the rebels, the troublemakers. The round
 pegs in the square holes.  The ones who see 
things differently. They're not fond of rules, 
and they have no respect for the status
quo. You can quote them. Disagree with 
them.  Glorify or vilify them.  About 
 the only thing you can't do is ignore
  them. Because they change things. They 
   push the human race forward. And while some 
    may see them as the crazy ones, we see g-
     enius. Because the people who are crazy
      enough to think they can change the
       world are the        ones who do.

Apple iPod NANO-CHROMATIC Giant Bus Shelter Poster

This is a 4 foot wide by 6 foot tall bus shelter poster advertising the Apple Nanochromatic iPods. The poster is single-sided, laminated, UV-treated, brand new in excellent condition. It's printed on heavy, coated card stock, a very thick and durable material. This is the promotional piece that was made for outside bus stop displays and movie theaters. The high quality printing gives an awesome look to the poster when light is placed behind it. This is the original Nanochromatic promo, printed in very limited numbers, which makes it rare and hard to get. This poster was recently rotated out of a Los Angeles transit kiosk and shipped directly to KootenayMac. Most are destroyed after use and are not available in stores.

This iPod NANO-CHROMATIC poster is priced at $90. Mailing is available; the heavy cardbard mailing tube is on hand so no extra charges are added to the postage. Local pickup always welcome. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
