Rare MAC 911 Short Sleeve Shirt

Ever hear of a MAC 911 shirt? I have been collecting Apple shirts for many years and have not seen one of these before. This may have been one of the custom shirts that the Apple Evangelists were noted for wearing. One-offs and very limited editions were common back in the mid 80's and into the 90's.It is hard to date this exactly but it was made in Sri Lanka by Port Authority so it could be late 90's as the rainbow logo was used from 1976 to 1998 and Port Authority started up in '97.

It is an olive green size Large 100% cotton shirt that has been washed but appears to be in new condition with no sign of wear. The MAC 911 and rainbow logo embroidery still glows. It is priced at $80 with postage at cost. There is another Apple Port Authority shirt available, click the evangelist label below. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

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. 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 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

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 (a bit more 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 in the Covid age plus I'm in outback Canada and that means customs forms and a chunk of time involved. click the pics taken today for larger views - some of you know more about the titles than I do. Hella stash for a museum or collector.
