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

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
