Who Has the Most Mac Room?

idude · March 8, 2002 9:26PM

Before you go complaining that there is already a thread for this, let me explain. In light of my "obsession" to apple, I thought it might be fun to see what type of apple posters/memorbilia/etc. everyone has in their rooms (bedroom, kitchen, bathroom, you name it). So instead of showing off JUST your desk, post pictures/videos/descriptions of your entire room, or whatever part is the "Macciest."

A link to mine is below to get things started. Like I said, I'm obsessed. The QTVR might not be too legible, but let me just tell you that about everything in my room has something to do with apple, from my aquarium (MacAquarium) to my storage boxes (gutted Mac II's). <a href="http://homepage.mac.com/pkatt/iMovieTheater4.html"; target="_blank">My Room</a>

Mine is a combination. I have two PCs and my iBook 500, along with all my old macs, with a huge PowerBook G3 (the Macworld Tokyo 2000 one) on the wall in-between my PCs, and an iMac poster next to it above my Athlon. I also have several small cinema display posters around, and an old PC hard disk converted to a clock opposite from the computers. I also have my iBook box in here somewhere...

Hmm..I'm gonna be the clear loser...I have an Apple logo sticker on my tarantula cage...and a G4 QS on a computer cart.

I have several Apple related books lying around, and sitting on my desk right now are several Mac programming books. I have my Mac OS X Public Beta folder framed on the wall. Mac Classic on the floor. iBook box sitting somewhere. Apple sticker on window.

A relative of mine worked for Apple in the late 80s and early 90s and now currently works for an Apple Specialist. So I have many many T-shirts, posters, jackets, sweatshirts and old mac hardware.

My 2 favorite pieces are my framed Apple logo poster (the old school 6 colored logo) and a pull-over sweatshirt that has the G3 logo on it with checked racing stripes up the sleeves. Its so nerdy.

I'd take some pictures but I left my digital camera at my nephews house.

Can't wait to get it back.

ghost_user_name · March 9, 2002 1:36PM

I have every single edition of the Macintosh Bible, and two editions of Macworld Mac Secrets. :cool:

idogcow · March 9, 2002 1:56PM

I have 'Mac for Dummies 3rd Edition' (circa system 7) AppleScript for Dummies..ClarisWorks for Dummies (see a pattern developing here?) and Using Filemaker Pro..

Oh, and two MacWorlds and two Macaddicts

Boy, do I envy you. All my relatives had to be dumb lawyers. I don't get anything interesting from them (if anything at all). Everything I have (and most people) is post 6 colored logo. It's cool that everything you have is pre 1 colored logo. Please take pictures when you get your camera back.

MacAgent, why did you frame your public beta folder? I myself keep all my OS boxes, but haven't framed any of them.

Freshapple, I hope you mean you have a powerbook POSTER on your wall. It doesn't seem ethical to keep a laptop on the wall.

splinemodel · March 9, 2002 2:47PM

My room at school is 115 square feet. I have a Powerbook G4 and an old G3 in it, but the posters are the winners.

-Powerbook G4 poster

-iMac Yum poster

-iPod Poster

-Mac OS X montage (9 OS X posters, cropped to remove everything except the X, in a square formation.)

I get the posters for free.

They are mixed in with two Bond posters, a speed racer poster, and a poster of a WRX STi tearing it up off-road. (I can't find a good Rx-7 poster for the life of me)

This year I live in what is effectively an above ground bomb shelter, so all of the posters are necessary.

eugene · March 9, 2002 8:13PM

What about all 4 series of "Think different." posters, including the elusive Bob Dylan one...

Well, so far I think you win as having the most valuable room. All I have is the set of 10 educator 11x17 posters, but I don't have them up.

You guys must live alone ;-) Having lived with my girlfriend of three years for the past year and a half, I can say that I officially have no voice whatsoever in the interior decoration process of the apartment :-)

idude · March 9, 2002 9:57PM

Well, I THINK (stress on think) that the majority (or some) of the people here are teenagers, from my experiences here and at Macworld. I would HOPE that if these teenagers have girl/boyfriends, they aren't living together. Either way, it doesn't seem fair that you aren't allowed to decorate anything. I'd go crazy if my house was all girly, especially if I wasn't allowed my own room (basement).

cosmonut · March 9, 2002 10:01PM

All I have is an opened pamplet of a tangerine iBook showing both sides of it (on my wall), and an iPod brochure -- that show's it's different angles -- with the middle part portruding out from my bedroom door. If you want a picture for clarification, I can post one.

I have never owned either of these products.

iDude, I'm surprised your picture of you and Steve isn't 6 feet tall and the golden shrine of your room. What gives? Yours looks like a 3x5 photo.

rosettastoned · March 9, 2002 10:05PM

Other than my two Macs and two Mac monitors, I have the Titanium PowerBook horizontal poster and new iMac vertical poster nicely framed and on my walls. I also have one vertical white banner with blue Apple logo, two white Apple stickers on my windows, 4 Apple Store-opening t-shirts proudly displayed in their tubes, and I've recently cross-stitched the words "Property of Steve Jobs" onto the front of all of my underpants.

I have a ton of crap to put up.

Well, I get to do whatever I want in my office, and anything I want to hang on the walls elsewhere, it has to go through her

It took a lot of convincing just to hang up my Airborne flag and Ranger medals in the living room.

I have two silkscreened wall scrolls with the Apple logo, one green, one blue, that hang in my office. Most of my posters (The Think Different series, all of them) and other little random things are in boxes in the closet; not enough space...

I live in a college dorm actually. So no, I don't live alone, but yes, there's no girl to moan about tacky decor. :cool:

Jonathan: I have a friend named Dan (who's actually the Apple Campus Rep and source of my posters) who could be your long lost twin brother.

I know. Actually, I think it is smaller than 3x5. I wanted to have a picture of it, but I didn't have a place to hang one, so I had to settle on that frame. I have an 8x10 one upstairs. I WOULD make it 6ft tall and hang it over the fireplace, but stupid me forgot to turn up the quality and resolution on my camera when it was taken, so even the 8x10 is pixelated.
