Apple 17" CRT Studio Display Monitor
For sale in Nelson is an Apple 17" Studio Display CRT flat screen monitor in excellent working condition with original box and packing. Maximum resolution is 1600 x 1200, making it perfect for digital media designers. It has 2 built in USB ports and the Apple ADC connector is powered directly from the G4 tower. A push of the monitor power button fires up the tower as well. The clear plastic swivel base has a small crack in it (but it still supports the monitor) and a new replacement base is available. Shipping cost to bring this 66 pound monitor to Nelson from Burnaby was $50, so it is priced at $75 plus $35 for the replacement base if wanted. Click image for a side view - it is a fairly large and heavy unit but worth it for the resolution clarity. It is set up to view and is also available as a complete package with several available G4 towers. Call Dave at (1)250.354.4633 to inquire.

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.telProvenance: 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."
