Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster + a signed Kozik proof

This is a Power Computing Macworld Boston 1996 poster with a "Sluggo" design by Frank Kozik. This 20" by 22" poster has been kept rolled for over 20 years. The poster is in great condition, no tears, no stains but it does have a pinhole in each corner.

The poster was designed by Frank Kozik, and features his 'Puggo' version of Sluggo from the Nancy comic that provoked threats of a lawsuit. It is the actual "Let's Kick Intel's Ass" poster that was pulled the first day of Macworld. Only a few of these posters were handed out before one of the PC "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. When Steve Jobs returned to Apple, the Mac clone program was ended.

This super rare Macworld Power Computing Mac clone poster is priced at $275 CDN with mailing at cost of postage. It will be shipped insured inside a heavy cardboard tube. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

A companion signed Kozik poster that was the basis for the KickAss poster is also available - it is an artist proof #626/1750 and priced at $175 - buy both for $425 CDN and that includes shipping.

Rare Power Computing Kozik Macworld "The Counter Assault Begins" poster collection

This is a rare and hard to find Frank Kozik "The Counter Assault Begins" poster. It measures approximately 21" x 34". The main text is: Power Computing - The Counter-Assault Begins. Macworld San Francisco 1997. Join Power Computing in Fighting Back for the Mac!

The original owner had this to say about it: "This poster is in great condition and has been in a protective storage since I acquired it during the 1997 Macworld Expo in San Francisco and was unrolled only to take this picture." This Apple clone poster was designed by punk rock poster artist Frank Kozik and was distributed at Macworld. "Kozik is best known to Macintosh users for these in-your-face illustrations for now-defunct Mac-clone maker Power Computing."

"Power Computing was the most successful of the Mac clone manufacturers in the mid to late 90's prior to Steve Job's return to Apple and putting an end to all the clone makers. Power Computing's booth at Macworld '97 in San Francisco was a big party. They rented Hummers, had mini flags with the company logo hanging from the front of the hood field marshal-style, and wore urban camouflage fatigues and berets."

"Their slogan was 'We're fighting back for the Mac!'  Their stated enemy was Microsoft, which pissed off the Microsoft people, as they would stand with a microphone on their stage and hurl barbs and insults in the direction of the Microsoft pavilion."
Apple history note: Macintosh clone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia: Soon after Steve Jobs returned to Apple in 1997, he halted negotiations of upcoming licensing deals with OS licensees that Apple executives complained were still financially unfavorable.... Apple bought Power Computing's Mac clone business for $100 million, ending the Clone era.

This highly collectible vintage poster is priced at $375 CDN (includes postage). The matching 1994 original poster titled People's Victory that this one was "cloned" from by Frank Kozik for Power Computing is also available priced at $200. It is an artist's proof (A/P) and is pencil signed by Kozik. Click photos for larger images. There are other rare Kozik PowerComputing posters and shirts for sale - click the labels below. Buy both posters for $500 CDN and that includes insured postage. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing 1997 Fight Tyranny Macworld poster

This is a super rare Power Computing poster from the 1997 San Francisco Macworld. The text is "The Fight Against Tyranny Begins! Join the Mac Resistance!" This Apple clone poster was designed by punk rock poster artist Frank Kozik who did a series of them for PowerComputing in the mid '90's until Steve Jobs returned to Apple and ended the clone program later that year.

At the January 1997 Macworld Expo, Power Computing fired up the Mac faithful with its “Fight Back for the Mac!” campaign, complete with company reps dressed in camouflage uniforms circling the Expo hall in Hummers emblazoned with Power Computing logos.

This poster was collected at the January Moscone Center Macworld Expo and the original owner had this to say: "The Power Computing booth was out of this poster by the time I got there, but a peripheral manufacturing company (whose name escapes me) was displaying this - hence the staple holes. Anyway they said I could have it if I came back at the end of the day. So I did! As mentioned, this does have some holes where it was stapled to a display board." It measures approx. 23" by 32" and the staple holes in top and bottom white space should cover when framed.

This highly collectible and nearly impossible to find vintage poster is priced at $350 CDN and that includes insured postage in a heavy cardboard tube. There are other vintage and rare posters and shirts from the Power Computing era available - click the labels below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Damaged Apple personal computers poster circa 1980

This rare original Apple poster measures 23" x 33" and the text is "personal computers apple" with a copyright of 1980. In the lower left corner is MSR# M30-0580 50K. It features the first official Apple logo designed by Rob Janoff in 1977.

Except for this photo it has never been hung or displayed -- however it arrived in the mail damaged with creases and small scratches all the way down just right of center. Sad but still frameable until you get something better... photos are on a larger white paper.

Prior to the first Macintosh and the switch to the Garamond font, Apple used a typeface called Motter Tektura alongside the Apple logo, and the bite was designed to fit the curve of the letter "a". This poster shows a large bitten rainbow apple logo that was in use from 1976 to 1998.

I hesitate to charge for this poster but will include it if you want in any poster collection you purchase with a value of $250 CDN or more -- click the collection or poster label below.

Fridge size Vintage Apple IIe and IIgs Point of Sale Poster

This is a giant double sided vintage Apple II poster from the early days before the word *enhanced* was added to the keyboard on the IIe, possibly '84 to very early '85. One one side is the Apple IIe keyboard and on the reverse is the Apple IIGS keyboard. This is an Apple Dealer Point of Sale poster and is very rare.

It's not mint but would be a fine addition to any early Apple collection. There are a few creases and scratches, but no tears. There are pin holes in each corner, a scratch and pin size puncture in the tab key area and one small spot in the blue on one side looks touched up with a marker. 

This poster measures 20" high and 56" wide on heavy card stock poster paper and the photos show it on our fridge held in place with magnets. Not kidding here, it's one big poster and would make a great backdrop for a collection of classic beige Macs. It is reasonably priced at $175USD/225CDN with shipping in a heavy cardboard tube at cost of postage depending on location. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
