We are pleased as pie, Apple pie in fact, to at long last announce our own line of merchandise, including t-shirts, hats, polos, coffee mugs, and hats. The Mac Observer (TMO) has teamed with CompanyStuff, the company that handles the online store for Your Mac Life, LinuxWorld, Mac Stuffonline, and Macworld Conference and Expo, to present our new store. CompanyStuff also handles merchandising for the Expo during the actual show, so if you've seen those shirts, you know that the products are of excellent quality. In addition, your order includes free shipping, so what you see is what you get.

We are kicking off our merchandising efforts with a shirt that speaks for many a Mac and Linux user among us. In clear white letters, it says simply "...because Windows sucks." Heck, there's many a Windows user who feels that way, too. Being a Mac user can be frustrating at times, especially when living or working in a sea of lemmings. Our new shirt will allow you to not-so-subtly tell them tell them what you really think. In case the shirt isn't enough, our "...because Windows sucks" coffee mugs can add to the message.

If you want a more subtle way of showing off your Macness, we offer TMO logo shirts, because you'll get your Mac news here from now on.

For those buying for the woman in your life, be it yourself, a friend, a girlfriend, or your wife, we have some ladies' shirts available, as well. If it's a present, nothing says "You mean a lot to me" like giving someone a geeky Mac shirt. Make sure you order now to get your TMO gear in time for the holidays.
