This is an extremely rare Power Computing T-shirt, size XL. It is a Fruit of the Loom Heavy 100% pre-shrunk cotton made in the USA.

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.

vintage pre-Applemusic magazine ad collection

for sale: a collection of 8 complete magazine issues with back cover ads for AppleMusic.com which was a short-lived music website that was replaced soon after launch by iTunes. During May 2003 this guitar image 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. These print mementos of a brief yet game-changing piece of Apple history is available as a collection for $180USD and that includes postage.

Also available is a full size ultra rare 2003 AppleMusic.com promo poster featuring a Gibson ES-345 Guitar. Price is $400. It became better known as the Garage Band icon. This poster measures 24" x 36" - click the applemusic label below.

WaybackMachine Archives from 2004 - missingbite.com: Remember AppleMusic.com?
Neither does anyone else. This ultra rare Apple poster heralds the age of the iTunes Store before Apple figured out what to call it.

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

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.

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

SOLD - 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.

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." To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

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 iMac 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.

A rainbow power cord is also available for $10 more.

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 USD or more -- click the collection or poster label below.

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.

Rare large Macintosh Finder "Happy Face" window stickers

These rare brand new unused Apple dealer Mac OS Finder store window stickers measure 8" x 10". The photo was taken with light shining through to show what they will look like when the backing paper is removed - if it is ever removed; the value may be in the unused condition or framed. This is the splash screen boot icon of System 8 (and then 9 and X) that replaced the Happy Mac icon with the introduction of the PowerPC.

There are 3 available; they are rare and long out of production. These are not decals but cling stickers that were used on the inside of the display windows of Apple stores and resellers dating back to the mid 90's. They are installed like the clear protective screens on an iDevice. They are priced for the serious collector at $75 each but i prefer to sell as a set - buy the 3 for $190USD and the price includes insured postage. To inquire contact Dave via kootenaymac.tel

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
