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 $345 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

Tribute to the Red Green Show - Vintage iMac Collection

For sale are two 333MHz G3 trayloader iMacs. They are the Revision D iMacs released on April 14, 1999 - code named Life Savers - but referred to as FlavorMacs. Both are running Mac OS 9.2 and are upgradeable to OSX but they have very small hard drives and will need the 3.6V clock pram batteries replaced. Matching correct keyboards are also available.

I chose these two iMacs - a Strawberry and a Lime - to sell as a set not for the Christmasy colors but rather as a hat tip to the great Canadian handyman from Possum Lake Ontario, Red Green. A roll of Duct Tape is included. Local pickup only - they are too fragile to risk shipping. Price for the set of two iMacs with original rainbow power cords is $135 CDN or $100USD. There are more G3 iMacs available - click the labels below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

Vintage Tangerine Apple Company Store Ball Point Pen

This Apple-branded pen dates back to the "FlavorMac" years around Y2K when the iMacs and iBook Clamshells came in a variety of colors. This Tangerine ball point pen, in its original packing tube, was purchased at the Apple Company Store in Cupertino, the only place it was available. The tube is 4.5" long, with the bar code sticker intact.

The pen is unused. It still has plenty of ink inside it, but perhaps because of aging, it did not write when tested in June, but it still makes a good vintage collectible item. It is priced at $35 and that includes postage. Odds are you will not find another. There are several other Tangerine collectibles available - click the label below.

Rare Apple Powerbook Engineering Project Team T-Shirt
