Who Has the Most Mac Room?
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>

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.
Oh, and two MacWorlds and two Macaddicts
<strong>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.

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.
-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.
<strong>What about all 4 series of "Think different." posters, including the elusive Bob Dylan one...</strong><hr></blockquote>
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.
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.

I have a ton of crap to put up.
posters on my side of the room:
signed deep dish global underground 21 release poster, telling me to 'stay gold'
promo poster for bedrock breaks
promo poster for basement jaxx - remedy
promo poster for q burns abstract message
bigass m3 poster. for m3 sedan. real cool looking- has race-car m3 as front half, street as back, with little blue flamey thing going on at the juncture; captioned STREET LEGAL. The new M3 Sedan.
oh, and a vintage 'my goodness, my guinness' poster.
roommate has some britney spears nonsense, muhammad ali, and the periodic table of mixology.
<strong>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).</strong><hr></blockquote>
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...
<strong>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 :-)</strong><hr></blockquote>
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.
