On the back is the front of a 1949 Pontiac with the same license plate. This is a tip of the hat to the Pontiac Division of GM as the 3 millionth Pontiac was built in February of 1949. '97 was the year Steve Jobs returned to Apple, and the rest is history. This rare and vintage commemorative shirt is priced at $85 and is available for mailing at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

note: now that the Pontiac line is shutdown, this shirt is also an automotive history collectible

Apple Computer Vintage Logo Wall Clock

"A is for Apple" was an '80's Apple ad campaign. This analog Apple clock measures approximately 10 inches in diameter, has a white frame with clear plastic lens over the face, and the quartz movement runs on one AA battery. Clock was purchased from GoldenOldieClocks of Post Falls Idaho and is not a genuine Apple product but would go well in any Apple collection. It is not silent, the ticking is audible, but it keeps accurate time and is large enough to tell the time across the room. This clock is priced at $35 plus shipping at cost or local pick up. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing Sluggo Kick-Ass Kozik Poster MacWorld '96

This rare and controversial poster was designed by Frank Kozik, and features his 'Puggo' version of Sluggo from the Nancy comic. The original owner has this to say about the poster he got at the '96 Boston MacWorld: "It was released at Macworld '96 by PowerComputing, the most successful of the Apple Mac clone companies. Few of the posters were handed out, when one of the "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."

The stories surrounding this poster include real and threatened lawsuits by the Nancy comic distributor over copyright violations and by Intel for being it's trademark being slagged. The word "ass" was also a sore point at Power Computing. This poster has been mounted professionally on a 1/4" wood backing panel that is not removable. There is a damaged corner in the wood at the bottom left of the frame where it fell from it's wall mount. The poster has no damage except the wrinkle outside the black border (click the image to view) and could be professionally restored.

So while the t-shirt version (also available) circulated for a while, this poster quickly disappeared into private collections. Until now. Add it to yours for $250 plus shipping at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

"iMac" Alarm Clock by Timex - Rare as can be

They are great electric clocks and a choice of 3 chimes will certainly wake you up. They come with a demo battery and a Try Me button so you can hear them in the unopened package. The price is $125 each for these rare, vintage and controversial Timex iMac alarm clocks. Postage at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

There is also an analog Apple rainbow logo clock available for $35.

Rip.Mix.Burn

Classic G3 iMac Flower Power poster. It is from the Apple "Rip Mix Burn" campaign, which caused a bit of controversy because the music industry thought that it promoted stealing music. However, the iTunes music store has since proven that wrong. Measures 22" x 28". This is a great addition to a vintage Apple collection. The poster is in new condition, but it does have a few very small wrinkles on an edge where the shipping tube was mishandled by the post office. It is reasonably priced for the collector at $75 and is available for mailing at cost in a cardboard tube. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
