Rare Classic - Flower Power G3 iMac

A classic Apple G3 iMac in the unique Flower Power case design. This iMac has the original 500 MHz processor and a noisy 20 GB hard drive that can be replaced with one running from 9.2 to 10.4 - your choice. The ram has been increased to 320 MB with more available. It has the factory installed CD/RW optical drive but a DVD drive is an optional upgrade. It comes with just a power cord for the collector, but optional extras include your choice of a black or white Apple Pro extended keyboard and matching optical mouse or a later white Apple keyboard and mouse as shown or any of the earlier FlavorMac colored keyboards.

This increasingly rare iMac is priced at $145. A Blueberry G3 iMac box with factory molded styrofoam packing is also available if needed for shipping. Local pick-up is recommended but insured shipping is an option.

Apple: Keep Your Lawyers Off My Computer

Extremely rare pin - Keep Your Lawyers Off My Computer

This is the infamous Fanged Apple, a design created in protest of Apple's lawsuit regarding graphical user interfaces (GUI) software. This 2.25" diameter button is in very good condition with all details crisp and clear. It was one of three released last year by a collector in California. It was his last one and you may never see another offered for sale. It is priced at $125. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Provenance: the former owner of this pin, a speaker at several Boston MacWorlds in the early 90's, says "I personally obtained this button from Richard Stallman outside of Lotus's offices in Cambridge, MA!"

"In 1989, Apple's look and feel lawsuit against Microsoft brought the idea of interface copyright to the attention of the programming community. Apple was trying to claim a monopoly over a broad class of graphical user interfaces. If Apple succeeded, not only Microsoft, but every software developer, would be legally compelled to design gratuitously incompatible software."

In response, John Gilmore and Richard Stallman together commissioned the design of the "fanged Apple"–a button showing the Apple logo with vicious teeth. This was followed by an advertisement placed in The Tech, MIT's student newspaper, which in turn led to a protest rally at the HQ of Lotus Development Corporation--another "look and feel" lawsuit plaintiff."
