Mac Forum / Programming / CodeWarrior / November 2004FS: MacWEEK Mug from Mac the Knife! VERY RARE (Ebay)
Remember the original MacWeek magazine from the 1980's and early '90s? Mac the Knife, rumor columnist for the magazine, used to give away a free MacWeek mug (with the "I spilled" slogan) to those who gave info that the Knife could print. These status symbol mugs were highly sought after and only a vanishing few exist. Here's one for you to get! U.S. shipping comes with a tracking number which can be tracked online.

Oh Rick, what, um....what...was in your morning coffee? (Actually it is a nice mug, too, more worth holding coffee than anything) SignatureRegards, JP "The measure of a man is what he will do knowing he will get nothing in return" > > > > Remember the original MacWeek magazine from the 1980's and early '90s? > > > > Mac the Knife, rumor columnist for the magazine, used to give away a [quoted text clipped - 32 lines] > Oh Rick, what, um....what...was in your morning coffee? > (Actually it is a nice mug, too, more worth holding coffee than anything) Honestly Jim, I never touch the stuff.

Well, that really explains it! :-) SignatureRegards, JP "The measure of a man is what he will do knowing he will get nothing in return" > - Hello!

Giving up the sacred mug is indeed hard enough, but I just wanted to have it go to someone who would appreciate as much as I have. (I was just married last year and I am getting rid of all of my collected junk.) I thought it might be appreciated by fellow programmers, but my sense of excitement got the better of my judgement. My sincerest apologies to all for the annoyance.

OTOH, it just seems so fitting that somebody like you would own Apple paraphernalia such as this. Actually, I wouldn't be surprised to learn that you collect anything and everything related to your beloved Apple;) Nicolas > >>>>Remember the original MacWeek magazine from the 1980's and early '90s? > >>>>Mac the Knife, rumor columnist for the magazine, used to give away a [quoted text clipped - 27 lines] > > Nicolas Nope nasty...I USE the Macs I have. They aren't for museums, they're tools for a business and very efficient ones at that. and FWIW, the mug on ebay is UGLY.
