The History of the Classic T-Shirt - Mac Classic Parody


This parody shirt pays tribute to our first computer. Well, our first real computer. We had one of those tape cassette computers our Old Man bought from Radio Shack first. And then after that we banged our head on an IBM PC JR. for a little while. We didn't find much joy in JR. Save for a Dungeons and Dragons-esque game in which your character progressed through the story by spelling words correctly. Which was awesome. Anyway, back to the Classic. It wasn't very powerful by today's standards, but the luxury of having a reliable word processor was an outstanding feeling. And with outstanding feelings come natural affinities. We loved that computer and we're pretty sure other people loved it too, so we made a custom t-shirt in its honor. Our T-shirt can be found here: Parody of Mac Classic T-Shirt.
