A nice collection of Apple print ads

Please let me know if you have any good collections of contemporary ads for the iphone (in english) for my class to analyze.

I like the //c ad:

It weighs less than 8 pounds.*
And it costs less than $1,300.**

* Don't asterisks make you suspicious as all get-out? Well, all this one means that the IIc CPU alone weighs 7.5 pounds. The power-pack, monitor, extra disk drive, a printer and several bricks will make the IIc weigh more. Our lawyers were concerned that you might not be able to figure this one out for yourself.
**The FTC is concerned about price-fixing. So this is only a Suggested Retail Price. You can pay more if you really want to. Or less.

I have an assortment of older Apple posters (from the 90's)- some duplicates I might be willing to part with if someone is interested, as well as a few Apple promotional T-shirts, shirts, etc.

Does anyone remember the "burn baby burn adds" for the PPC G3 Chip with the intel man on fire? Or the intel chip on the snail -those were my favs.

I once had the complete set of Think Different posters. The large nice ones. And a few spares of many of them. I decided to give them to employees thinking they would appreciate them, which most did not. I can't believe I gave them away. The complete set is worth a ton of money now. I also had a case of Apple logo tall glasses. We used them for our main glasses as my kids were growing up and only two remain unbroken. If I'd only thought to put them away...

I still remember the 'Apple II Forever' song.

OMG there's a video for it on youtube! Never knew that..

Gotta love the 1984 selling points of the one button mouse: "... it's extremely difficult to press the wrong button" LOL

I think it's interesting that you can still find some of the ideas still present in the macs of today. There aren't many companies that will hold fast to their ideas and simply continue to improve on them. Props to Apple.

I love the Think Different posters. Does somebody know whether you can buy them for a reasonable price somewhere?

I like the old Apple II ads the best. I remember playing "Mystery House" with my Apple II+ back in 1980 (I think it was). Ken and Roberta Williams (Sierra On-Line back then) lived just up the street from us on Holbrook Street in Simi Valley. I didn't realize it, of course, until they'd moved to Coarsegold, CA.

For one of the original Apple I ads, see our web site here:
