Review

You will find roughly a thousand or so T-shirt designs, all having something to do with Apple Computer. I mean, there are shirts for the PowerBook teams, the Newton teams, the Apple II teams, the System 7 teams, the beta-testers, and even shirts for the Flint team.

Some of my favorite Apple T-shirts? One is the "System 7 sucks less--We've upped our standards--up yours." (pg. 49) My other favorites include most of the Copland (or "Copeland" in one screwed-up shirt) (pg. 52), and the obligatory "Windows '95=Macintosh '89." These are a mere few of the great ones--trust me on that.

What Gordon has done with his book is pull all of the Apple spirit from the early years into one colorful place that totally astonished myself upon reading. -- Mark Delfs, MacTimes Network, April 24, 1998

Product Description

"The journey begins."... Steve Jobs used the Zen proverb, "the journey is the reward," to motivate engineers creating the original Macintosh. Not long after, the phrase was modified for this shirt given to all new employees during orientation.

Apple employees have long been expressing themselves with t-shirt art. For twenty years t-shirts have chronicled events and accomplishments within Apple Computer. Here to view for the first time is the unique talent and creativity of some of the world's most ingenious employees. Their hard work is represented in over 1500 pictures of more than 1000 shirts that mark the public recognition of the milestones they have achieved.
