(btw, if apple made bumper stickers, what would they say on them? that could be a whole new thread on its own

It's not like someone is going to look at your pen or keyring and say "Hey, cool! It's got a tiny apple logo on it! I'm gonna go buy a mac now!"
You mean like this stuff?
hehe.. I used to have an 'I brake for 8' bumper sticker, too, on a previous car. But, while I would have braked for 8, I didn't brake quickly enough to avoid hitting something else...
The stuff in the picture is:
Front row: 'A Guided Tour of MacDraw' audio tape. Came with an original Macintosh in 1984. This is all that is left of that poor Mac, used by my dad where he worked; Apple playing cards. Yup, a deck of poker cards with Apple details. As you can see, the joker is a 'happy mac' with joker hats on. The suits are 'userface', which is red, 'trash can', which is black, 'alarmclock', which is red, and 'bomb', which is black. These cards are from sometime around 1990, as evidenced by the fact that the 'happymac' looks suspiciously like a Macintosh Classic. Yes, the set is still complete.
Back row: Apple 3.5" floppy disk case, hard plastic; Apple mousepad; Apple pen; case for the cards.
