Super rare Apple clone Power Computing Sluggo Intel kick-ass T-shirt

This is an extremely rare Power Computing T-shirt, size XL. It is a Fruit of the Loom Heavy 100% preshrunk cotton made in the USA. It was created when Intel's fastest Pentium processor was only 200MHz, and Power Computing released a new model with a 225MHz PowerPC chip. The original owner was given this shirt as a gift circa 1997. He never wore or washed the shirt, it had been in his closet for over ten years. Here is a close-up of the front.

The owner had this to say: "However, despite the lack of wear and washing, there is a slight discoloration at the neckline, a quarter-size light stain on the lower front of the shirt (the stain would be below the belt line if wearing the shirt and not visible), and finally another mark on the back side of the right shoulder. The shirt has been in a non-smoking household and is in very good condition... if not for the imperfections described above, I would say it is "as new". I have absolutely no idea how the shirt got these marks, it may have been from when I moved a few years ago - I really don't know! The marks may come out with washing, but I did not want to risk damaging such a rare shirt in the washing machine, so I am selling it as-is." Ditto.

When looking up the provenance of this shirt this comment was found:
"Rare and wonderful is the Power Computing t-shirt entitled "Let's Kick Intel's Ass!" It was withdrawn from the market in two phases. The first was to address the then bad word 'ass' and the second was due to the character on the t-shirt being remarkably like the copyrighted character Sluggo from the Nancy cartoons." -- also it was rumored that Intel's lawyers were looking at action as well.


This ultra rare Power Computing t-shirt is priced at $145. There is a companion poster also available, click the Power Computing label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

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.

Vintage Apple II GS College long sleeve shirt

This shirt was made to celebrate the Apple II, which was developed in 1977 and was among the world's first successful computers. It features a large rainbow treble clef on the front and Apple II GS College with the bitten apple logo is on the back. This is NOS (new old stock) that has never been worn or washed, and is sourced from the original owner in San Jose.

This shirt was from the company store and is featured on page 8 of the Apple T-shirt Book.

These shirts date from the 80's and the GS refers to the model's enhanced graphics and sound. There are two identical size Medium long sleeve shirts in stock both made in the USA by Anvil of 100% pre-shrunk cotton. They are priced at $30 each with mailing at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
