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
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
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.
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

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 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. 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 rainbow power cord is also available for $10 more.
update: a white Macbook apple lid logo also included

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.

There are 27 unused unopened 2010 pins plus the 2 individual British pins - total price is $490 USD. All 29 are available only as a complete set

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
