PowerSchool Pen (translucent gray, white logo)

The student information system PowerSchool was owned by Apple from 2001–2006. PowerSchool began as an independent company in 1997, was purchased by Apple in 2001, was purchased by Pearson in 2006, and again became an independent company in 2015 when it was purchased by a private equity group.

This Apple PowerSchool pen is translucent gray with a white Apple logo and the logotype Apple PowerSchool in the Myriad Apple font used at the time. I was a PowerSchool user from 2000–2014 while I was a Technology Director in four different school districts.

Apple logo laptop case (c. 1995)

I acquired this Apple logo laptop case with a PowerBook 1400 and all its accessories. Its perfect fit for this device and its accessories indicates that the laptop case may have been released at the same time as PowerBook 1400.

The laptop case is black and features an embroidered six-color logo. The internal adjustable Velcro divider allows space for a laptop and power cord, while inside pockets allow space for 3.5-inch floppy disks, business cards, and other items. Although a perfect fit for a PowerBook 1400 and accessories, the thin canvas of the case does not offer much protection.

Apple Wristbands (c. 2015)

One year while visiting a Chicago-area Apple Store coincidentally on Halloween, I noticed that Apple Store employees were giving away Apple-logo items to Trick-or-Treaters. I waited until after designated Trick-or-Treat hours were over, spoke to an employee, let him know I was a collector, and asked for one of the “treats.” The first year I discovered this Apple-logo item giveaway, they were giving plastic Apple-logo flashlights. I have since visited Apple Stores on a few other Halloweens and, for at least two years in a row, they were giving these LIVESTRONG-style wristbands.

These Apple wristbands were from approximately 2015, and I got them at the Northbrook Court Apple Store. They are child-size rubber bracelets in either orange or white with an embossed Apple logo. They measure approximately 60 mm in diameter and are 12 mm wide.

Apple Logo Mousepad (blueberry, 1999)

This thin plastic mousepad made from materials by the company Microthin features the blueberry Apple logo printed in a manner to simulate the translucent plastic Apple used in the iMac line of computers at the time. This mousepad is blue to match the blueberry iMac. Other versions of this design were available in the other five iMac colors: tangerine, lime, strawberry, grape, and graphite.

This mousepad is round and measures 8.5 inches in diameter. It is printed with a MICROTHIN PRODUCTS logo and small text along the bottom curve (in Apple Garamond font): ©1999 Apple Computer, Inc. All rights reserved. L04108A

The bottom of the mousepad is covered in printed dots that provide traction to prevent slippage. The stickiness (tackiness) of the material is still viable after about 20 years and can be reactivated by rinsing any accumulated dust with water. However, the entire mousepad is beginning to show signs of yellowing.
