T-shirt, Dashboard logo (black, L, 2007)

This black t-shirt features Apple Dashboard icon on the front center. The back of the t-shirt features a white Apple logo at the top center and reads:

Dashboard
Where there’s a widget, there’s a way.
Mac OS X Tiger

Dashboard was a part of Mac OS X introduced in 2007 (version 10.4, Tiger). Dashboard served as a secondary Desktop that allowed access to a user-customized set of widgets, such as weather, calculator, notepad, stocks, and others. The Dashboard feature was discontinued after the release of macOS Mojave (version 10.14). However, widgets continue to be a part of macOS.

This shirt is a Hanes Beefy-T brand in size Large.

Mac OS X Tiger, Version 10.4, installer DVD, Not for Resale (2005)

Mac OS X, Version 10.4, was the fifth major release of the Mac OS X [ten] operating system. It was referred to by its codename, “Tiger,” in its product marketing. Previous versions were codenamed “Cheetah” (Version 10.0) and “Puma” (Version 10.1), but they were referred to only by their version numbers. Version 10.2 was announced as “Jaguar,” 10.3 was named “Panther,” and this version, 10.4, was called “Tiger.”

According to Apple, “Tiger delivers more than 200 new features and innovations including Spotlight, a revolutionary desktop search technology that lets users instantly find anything stored on their Mac, including documents, emails, contacts and images; and Dashboard, a new way to instantly access important information like weather forecasts and stock quotes, using a dazzling new class of applications called widgets.”

This Not for Resale DVD is unopened.

When it was released on April 29, 2005, this Mac OS X upgrade cost US$129. Likely because this DVD is “Not for Resale,” it is packaged in a plain white cardboard envelope.
