Is this a crass commercial announcement? Yes, yes it is.

MacMerc.com was started several years ago but it wasn't until January 2002 that the MacMerc culture really started to gel. If you've spent any time in our forums, you know the names and the personalities. If you were one of the early MacMerc forum pioneers, you might even have one of our limited edition (now discontinued) second generation MacMerc.com caps. If you missed out on the caps, you can still dress yourself up in MacMerc.com attire with the vast selection of items in our store. Let's take a look at the selection:

The MacMerc.com Logo Collection

This is our main line of products and the best way to send the clearest message when broadcasting your status as a Macintosh Mercenary of the highest order.

Products available: Baseball Jersey (retro MacMerc.com Logo), White T-Shirt, Ash Grey T-Shirt, Long Sleeve T-Shirt, Jr. Baby Doll T-Shirt, Women's T-shirt, Hooded Sweatshirt, Sweatshirt, Infant/Toddler T-Shirt, Large Mug, Mug, Stainless Steel Travel Mug, Tile Box, Mousepad, Wall Clock, Teddy Bear, Lunchbox, Flying Disc

MacMerc Phys. Ed. Dept. Gear

Inspired by the threadbare shirt worn by Eddie Murphy in Beverly Hills Cop that read "Mumford Phys. Ed. Dept." and created a bit of craze in the late 80's.

The Option-Shift-K Collection

Don't you get it? Don't worry, just go into TextEdit and hold down the Option and Shift keys and type a "K" ... Apple Logo. Pretty sweet, huh? This by far our most popular and original of our creations. It will show you to be part of the Mac elite by letting other Mac-heads know your elegance without tipping off your affiliation to nearby Windows fools.

The FSCK -Y T-Shirt

A few people have misinterpreted our Option-Shift-K graphic as being a cryptic depiction of a certain expletive...well it isn't, and neither is this. FSCK -Y is the command used to check and repair the Mac's file system from the command line.

The Cease & Desist T-Shirt

One of two shirts we have inspired by events at the site itself. This shirt came available shortly after our story that showed screenshots of Adobe Photoshop CS before any such shots were made available by Adobe. Yup, we posted a bunch of great shots and all we got was a cease and desist order ...this t-shirt celebrates that event.

Products available: Grey T-Shirt

MacMerc.com Bad-Ass Graphic-Wear

Part Apple logo, part Maltese cross and all MacMerc.com. This collection of t-shirts is perfect for anyone who loves Mac's but doesn't take any s**t from anybody. Wear it while you work in your monster Mac garage.

Products available: T-Shirt, Baseball Jersey, Grey T-Shirt, Long Sleeve T-Shirt

The Pepsi iTunes Hack Shirt

This t-shirt commemoratesthe blockbuster story from February 2004 and holds a secret message. To unlock the secret message, the secret is the angle. I've found it to be 25?. Just tilt the shirt wearer and look up towards their head. With luck, you should be able to see the message.
