Mac OS X The Missing Manual - the book that should have been in the box

for sale as a set - 3 copies of The Missing Manual by David Pogue. The top 2 appear to have never been opened and covers Jaguar 10.2. The 3rd one is well used and covers Version 10.1. It is the 2002 first edition.

Price is $50 USD for the 3 books, shipping weight is 6 lbs, so postage will be $35 USD. (ships from Canada. that's $115 CDN total)
The fact that the Mac OS X comes without a printed manual is a real problem, since Mac OS X is so different from the operating system that came before it. Now David Pogue, the number one bestselling Macintosh author, fills the gapwith the definitive guide to Mac OS X."

Apple Store Vancouver 2010 Winter Olympics Pins

These brand new, limited edition authentic Apple Olympic pins were designed by Apple Inc. to promote the Vancouver 2010 Olympic Games. The pins were only available at two Vancouver Apple stores and they were not available for sale anywhere. The top two app icon pins were available only during the February Olympics at the Pacific Centre Mall and the lower pin, designed to look like the iPod Nano, was given out at the Oakridge Mall store and only as one to a customer. These were hard to get then and are highly collectible now.

This upper pin set in original packaging includes two metal 19mm x 19mm (3/4" by 3/4") pins - the left pin is a Canadian maple leaf and the right pin is the Apple logo. The lower iPod Nano pin, also in original packaging, measures  17mm x 38mm (5/8" x 1-1/2"). The backs have ™2010 Apple, Inc. They are reasonably priced for the collector at $85USD for the set of two icons and the iPod pin. All have butterfly clasps and are new and unused. There is a large collection of Olympic pins available, click the olympics label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing VIP Boston Macworld 1996 t-shirt

This is a rare version of the 1996 Power Computing "We're Fighting Back For The Mac" promotional T-shirt featuring the infamous Frank Kozik designed Sluggo/Puggo that launched a lawsuit from Nancy Comics. On the back is Power Computing 1996 Boston Macworld Expo and an unusual MacWorld MVB V.I.P.  on one sleeve. There was a VIP room at the Mama Kin Music Hall in Boston in 1995, not sure about the details for '96. MVB might be Most Valuable Bruin but that is conjecture. The shirt has been worn and washed several times over the years and has some lightly discolored areas that are noticeable up close but none on the area of the graphics. A dry cleaning might help but a washing did not clean it as much as I had hoped. It is still a good wearable or collectible shirt from the days before Steve Jobs ended the Apple clone program. It is a Lofteez brand size XL made in the USA of 100% preshrunk cotton by Fruit of the Loom.

This classic '96 VIP Power Computing T-shirt is priced at $85 with mailing at cost of postage. There is a companion poster and other versions of this shirt available as well, click the Power Computing label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Rare 2003 Apple AppleMusic.com Gibson ES-345 Guitar Poster

This is an ultra rare 2003 AppleMusic.com promo poster featuring a Gibson ES-345 Guitar. It became better known as the Garage Band icon. This poster measures 24" x 36" and is in good condition with few flaws. There are no tack holes or tape tears but there is some edge wear and a few small creases, smudges and marks but it frames up very well. There is a rubber band mark on the back where it was rolled up and stored for several years. In very small print at the bottom right is the 2003 TM for Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved.

It is a simple and beautiful poster for AppleMusic.com which was a short-lived music website that was replaced soon after launch by iTunes. During May 2003 this poster appeared as promo ads on the back covers of several well known magazines and then they all disappeared and were replaced by the iTunes Store as Apple Computer and Apple Corps squared off over the use of the name. This memento of a brief yet game-changing piece of Apple history is available for the serious Apple collector at $400 USD and that includes insured postage in a sturdy cardboard tube. Missingbite had one a few years ago for $599. There are 4 available - 3 have never been unrolled.

There are several magazines with a back cover ad of this poster also available, click the label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Neither does anyone else. This ultra rare Apple poster heralds the age of the iTunes Store before Apple figured out what to call it.

giant 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. 

It's an Apple Dealer Point of Sale poster and is very rare. It is 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 looks touched up with a marker. 

This poster measures 20" high and 56" wide on heavy card stock poster paper and the sideways photos show it on the refrigerator held in place with fridge magnets. Not kidding here bro', it's one big poster! It is reasonably priced at $175USD/225CDN with shipping in a heavy cardboard tube at cost of postage depending on location.

vintage Apple G3 and G4 plastic collection

some random Macintosh plastics - the G3 B/W front piece is an impossible to find factory NOS with protective cover still on. The G4 Graphite front piece has both optional doors - a rarity indeed. One good foot/handle from a G4 tower, one cracked G3 handle, and 4 complete Apple logos (3 shown, one more Blueberry turned up) and one (2 now) Indigo foot mounts are included.

On the green background is a rainbow cord and a rare factory sealed NOS VGA-ready rear cover plate for the G3 iMac with the affixed label in 7 languages. I prefer to sell as a lot so $100USD and you get all the plastics - add $10 for the rainbow power cord. Shipping is from western Canada so guessing at least $30 shipping to the States. A set of 4 rainbow power cords are also available - click the cord label below.

update: a white Macbook apple lid logo also included

vintage 17" Apple LCD acrylic ADC monitor

In May 2001, Apple released a 17" Studio Display (Model No: M7649) with a native resolution of 1280x1024. The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable. The unit is in very good condition and features a single cord ADC plug that connects to the PowerMac ADC port. A swipe of the finger on the lower right corner powers up the tower and monitor. Photo shows monitor in use on a G4 Quicksilver tower in this photo from November 24, 2021.

Apple introduced it with the Dual Processor Mystic Power Mac G4 and new ADC monitors in July 2000, removing the industry standard DVI port previously found on the Sawtooth Power Mac G4. ADC remained a standard feature of Power Macs through the 2004 Power Mac G5; ADC was not present on the 2005 Power Mac G5, and Apple resumed use of the DVI connector alongside ADC with the Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4 in August 2002.

Classic Macintosh Power Computing T-shirt

This Power Computing size XL promo t-shirt is from the 1996 ad campaign. It has awesome graphics from an Apple authorised Macintosh clone manufacturer. The shirt is not new, it has been worn once and then stored for over 10 years. It has only been washed one time and that was by hand. You may never find another one of these shirts for sale. The front with the company logo on it is no great shakes but the large back graphic by Frank Kozik thunders like Charlton Heston at an NRA convention. This super rare vintage Mac authorized clone promo shirt was slowly pried from the hands of a high-tech collector in Germany. It is priced at $175 and that includes postage.

collection of beige Mac software from the mid-90's

Software donated by a teacher dating to circa 1996. Includes boxed sets of  SuperPaint, Aldus Freehand, ClarisWorks, Norton Utilities, Adobe Photoshop, Symantec Suitcase, and Adoble TypeManager plus related books, manuals and floppy disks. I do not know any more about the software.

no charge for the items but I'd appreciate $40 USD for making the ad, boxing it all up and hauling it to the post office (at 77 this is not so easy). Weight is 20# so postage will be quite a bit extra - shipping is from Canada. Local pickup in Nelson BC is preferred and you can just take it away. A good deal for a collector of older Macs.

Rip.Mix.Burn - G3 Flower Power iMac posters

For sale are two classic G3 iMac Flower Power posters. They are 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. The posters measure 22" x 28". Fine print text on the edge includes iTunes, copyright 2001, Think Different, Apple part # L12939A

The Flower Power iMac poster is a requisite addition to any vintage Apple collection. Both posters are in good condition, but both have a few visible wrinkles and a bit of edge wear from over the years. Neither have been displayed or mounted. Click the image for a March 2018 photo. They are reasonably priced for the collector at $90 each or $160 for both and are available for mailing at cost of postage in a cardboard tube. I prefer to sell as a set.

Mounted 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 professionally mounted 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 your collection for $145 plus shipping at cost. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Power Computing mouse and pad collection

on the left is a black Power Computing mouse pad with the official Macintosh clone logo in red and "Power Computing" in white with phone number underneath. Additional bonus - the original Power Computing warranty card. This is a very rare mouse pad as none have been made since the late 90's. It measures about 7" by 9" and is almost 1/4" thick. It has not been moused on. 

The vintage red 9" Power Computing mouse pad is well used but is still a fine collector's item.

Included are the original decals and a PowerTower Pro Install CD. The decals are a set of 3 in two sizes. The mouse is an original Power Computing ADB one button mouse with logo. The Power Computing Install CD contains system installers, utilities and bundled software for PowerTower Pro, p/n 1620-0003-00 release 3.0 MacOS 7.6 and it is in excellent condition with no scratches.

Included is the one-button ADB mouse that came with the Power Computing Mac clones. It was manufactured by Macally. For a few years in the mid-90s Apple allowed Power Computing to make Apple Macintosh compatible computers. Steve Jobs ended that program upon his return to Apple.

The price is $125USD and that includes postage. Lower center shows 5 Power Computing cloisonne lapel pins - new in original wrappers. They are available for $45 each or all 5 for $185.

Rip.Mix.Burn. iMac G3 Dalmatian poster collection

Vintage original G3 iMac Dalmatian poster collection 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. All 3 are from the Think Different era, copyright 2001, Apple part number L13044A.

I bought them from a retired upstate New York Apple dealer several years ago and am just now offering them for sale as a set. They are all factory different: the left one is a very high quality plastic laminate on both sides, the right one is the standard light poster paper and the bottom one is unique in that the poster stock is quite heavy and it has a slightly pebbly matte finish on the front and the back is a kind of waxy gloss finish. Different for sure.

These Blue Dalmatian posters are very rare in the wild now, not even The Missing Bite or eBay has any currently. They measure 22" x 28" each and are all in near mint or new old stock condition and were never displayed except for this photo. Bear in mind they are 17 years old and have been handled a bit - one has a light smudge but there are no pin holes or tears and all will frame up nicely. The price is $280 USD for the 3 poster collection and that includes insured mailing to Canada and USA in a heavy cardboard tube (out of North America adds $30 postage). I prefer to sell as a set. The companion Flower Power poster is also available - click the label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Steve Jobs killed the clones upon his return to Apple in '96 but they were largely credited for saving Apple's skin when it was on the skids. There are other Power Computing items available as well. The price of these 8 shirts is $650 USD and that includes postage. Add the mouse, mousepads, pins, CDs and decals as shown in the labels below for $150 more. 

There are also several PowerComputing posters by Frank Kozik available as well including the versions of his posters that he used as a basis for the Mac-centric ones. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

update: there are now 9 shirts in the collection

a collection of early Apple, Mac iMac books

i ended up with a collection of books from around 20 years ago from the guy who taught me web editing, all seem in very good shape, many seem new. 5 weigh about 16 lbs so 5 or 6 would be like $65 mailed to Texas or 10 lbs to Ohio would be $50. sheesh! (a bit less in Canada). Some date back to System 7 and 8, several are repair and trouble shooting - even CAD stuff and a Photoshop 4 disk in one. I don't want them, and won't recycle them so they can sit on the bottom shelf of the book case where they have been for about a decade. 

No idea of value, so make any offers but i won't box up one or two and haul to post office for peanuts plus I'm in outback Canada and that means customs forms and a chunk of time involved. click the pic for a larger view - some of you know more about the titles than I do. Hella stash for a museum or collector. Suggested offer: $100 USD...

Rip.Mix.Burn - G3 Flower Power iMac posters

For sale are two classic G3 iMac Flower Power posters. They are 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. The posters measure 22" x 28". Fine print text on the edge includes iTunes, copyright 2001, Think Different, Apple part # L12939A

The Flower Power iMac poster is a requisite addition to any vintage Apple collection. Both posters are in good condition, but both have a few visible wrinkles and a bit of edge wear from over the years. Neither have been displayed or mounted. Click the image for a March 2018 photo. They are reasonably priced for the collector at $90 each or $160 for both and are available for mailing at cost of postage in a cardboard tube. I prefer to sell as a set. The companion Blue Dalmatian poster is also available - click the label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

It is in fine condition and priced at $120USD. Mailing in a heavy cardboard tube is available at cost of postage. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Rare Iridescent Apple 30th Anniversary Poster

This Apple poster has reflective graphic and text that shimmers with colors of the rainbow as seen from different angles. Poster measures 24x36 - not displayed or hung, no holes or tears. Only saw one other since it was issued back in 2014, and never for sale anywhere.

vintage 20" Apple LCD acrylic ADC monitor

20″ Apple acrylic ADC Cinema Display, LCD, 1680 x 1050 native resolution shown in use on a G4 Quicksilver tower in this photo from November 24, 2021. The unit is in very good condition and features a single cord ADC plug that connects to the PowerMac ADC port. A swipe of the finger on the lower right corner powers up the tower and monitor.

The Apple Display Connector (ADC) is a proprietary modification of the DVI connector that combines analog and digital video signals, USB, and power all in one cable. Apple introduced it with the Dual Processor Mystic Power Mac G4 and new ADC monitors in July 2000, removing the industry standard DVI port previously found on the Sawtooth Power Mac G4. ADC remained a standard feature of Power Macs through the 2004 Power Mac G5; ADC was not present on the 2005 Power Mac G5, and Apple resumed use of the DVI connector alongside ADC with the Mirrored Drive Doors Power Mac G4 in August 2002.

Price is $100 plus shipping. The rear leg will be unscrewed for shipping to prevent damage. Local pickup in western Canada preferred. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel
