Original Macintosh Carry-bag
Posted by: Cosmo on 2012-12-27 03:59:03
Notised an ad on local Apple-forums for an "macintosh classic" carry-bag for 20€. Sent message and asked if it was an bag with an logo or not (ie.targus) he replied it was with bright colored logo.. that was an deal right there! Even i wasn't sure if it was the tan -colored or some other. Picked it up today as i was in a sick-leave.

The owner said he bought it back in early 90's from some friend of his along with Macintosh Classic and never used the bag. It actually looks it was never used. The strap looks it was never put on the bag. Only thing missing is the red macintosh logo from the tag (need to reprint that, i think i've seen the file floating around).

He also told an story about the bag. It was originally owned by NOKIA. He used to know the wingman of the CEO of NOKIA, who got sacked but when he left, he was allowed to pick up any Macintosh'es he wanted (he took several, also printers etc) and as well "golden handshake" money. This is that bag. Interesting history.
