I've gone through more than my fair share of Macs in the past few years. so I have accumulated quite a number of these stickers. I as well have not used them because I have no idea what to do with them.

If I had a PC, I would cover it in them probably. But that seems somewhat blasphemous in a computer sort of way.

I thought about putting one of them on the power supply inside my Power Mac, I think it would look fairly cool.

I don't have a car, so... yeah...

But I'd like to hear some suggestions on what to do with the stickers as well.

Bumper.

Cabinets in the office (I work at a PC software company) to let people know 'no, I won't fix your crappy PC. But if you want to talk to me about Macs, stop on by."

On the side of my beige G3.

That's about it.

I'm thinking about stealing one from my dad and putting it on my locker in school. Then the next kid that has my locker will be enlightened on what computer to choose for college.

I put mine on my classroom door's little window to let everyone know that PCs are not welcome. It's also for the Dell rep that comes by from time to time.

Another one is on my car's back window.

I have about 60+ more from all the Macs my school has bought over the last year.

put one of mine on my back windshield. If you waste them or accidentally destroy them, you can get them pretty cheap on ebay i think.

Back window of my van. My brother put his on his toolbox he takes to school. Also, he has one on one of his guitar cases.

Whenever I drive by another car sportin' an Apple sticker, it makes me smile.

Then I slam into random people because I'm not paying attention.

We slapped them on the side of some of our old iMacs at work. As for my own personal stickers, haven't used them yet...maybe on my speakers. Or maybe to cover the corrosion on my PB.

Used the ones from my iMac on the back of my office chair, and on the front windshield of my car - above the rearview mirror, helps me find it in parking lots. Haven't opened the ones from my MDD and AlBook (yes, mine came with stickers) yet...
It's arrived - 15" PB 1.25Ghz - Damn is this a fine machine!

If you're at work, and assuming you work for a non Mac using company, call your help desk for some random problem, say, you've gotten the blue screen of death on your PC. Then as they finish inspecting your computer, put a sticker with the sticky side up on your palm and then deliver a pat on the back and a "Well Done!!" to your friendly IT person, and there you go: Walking billboard for the day!

As for me, I used my last one on my guitar case...

Did you check the packet? I thought i was ripped too, then my bf (minty fresh) told me to open the packet thing (which i really didn't want to cause it was so cool looking) and there it was in between the books .

In the "Pictures of your PowerBook setup", one guy put a sticker on his printer. It looked pretty cool so that's where mine are going.

I have a sticker on the rear window of my car. It is always nice to see other people with Apple stickers on their car too. I always have to see who is driving.

A good idea on what to do with the spares would be to go down to a Gateway Country store and stick them on the windows. (no pun intended)

I have a few plain-white Apple stickers and fewer rainbow-colored Apple stickers. Placed them on my dad's car plate (rainbow-colored) and the rearwindow of the van (white-colored).

Other than that, I tend to not use the stickers as they're quite pricey here (having one "duplicated" by a commercial printer costs just as much), and so I'd rather not waste them.

But yeah, spotting an Apple sticker when one goes by always brings a smile.

I happened across some of the rainbow-colored ones (from a Performa 6360 purchased in 1997) about 18 months ago and put them on the side of a big file cabinet in my home-business office. When I got my new PB a year ago, I added two white ones. My 13-year-old wants whatever ones I have left. Of course, I'd have to find them first...

I like havnig the stickers there. They're not actually on the computer or anything, just on the side (and now front) of the file cabinet.

I purchased a blank sketchbook from the local bookseller and put the Mac sticker on the cover...and I now have a personalized mac writing log.

Then I realized that I hardly ever take up the pen.

But what are you going to do?

I just put mine on my Computer Tool case and then I put my other one on the new Sharkskin (brand of course) sleeve.

Looks pretty nice.
I would love to get a few more though

I put mine on my external hard drive casing. I had it on a silver one before and it looked like an Apple issued Ext. HD. But that case died. Now I have it on a black case, not quite as pretty.

I have an old rainbow apple right on the middle of my windshield on my BMW K1200RS motorcycle. I get a lot of thumbs up, but the occasional idiot asks why I have a gay apple on my bike.

There is no excuse for ignorance.

Like many here, I was wondering what to do with my nifty white apple sticker when I got my iBook. Then one day I noticed that someone else in my apartment building had stuck one on his/her mailbox in the lobby. So I thought I'd do the same. It makes me smile everytime I pick up my mail. I suppose this would work for any type of mail box.

I don't see the need to put the Apple Stickers on the side of Gumdrop iMacs but if you have a CRT monitor Like me, they are great. I also have one on my car and about 10 sheets of two in a box. I think I will keep them for 20 years and see how much they are going for.

I put one on the back window of my explorer, in the bottom left corner. Within about 3 weeks, two other cars in my parking lot had apple stickers. Now, we usually wave when we see each other in passing.
