+LS650 Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I saw this auction on eBay for coffee mugs with classic computers printed on them: http://www.ebay.co.u...em=190683948676 Most of the computers are ones sold primarily in Europe (Sinclair, Acorn, etc) but there are some for the Commodore and Atari machines. I currently have a VIC-20 and did have an 800XL for many years, so I received mugs for these two machines: I have had a few mugs of coffee and tea already. The mugs are good quality ceramic and should last many years if not abused. The graphics are some sort of color transfer that is fused to the ceramic material; they appear to be high quality and I would expect them not to fade or deteriorate. All in all I would recommend you check out all the seller's mug auctions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
almightytodd Posted June 6, 2012 Share Posted June 6, 2012 I viewed his "other items" and found this cool joystick mug... http://rover.ebay.com/rover/1/711-53200-19255-0/1?ff3=4&pub=5574883395&toolid=10001&campid=5336500554&customid=&mpre=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.ebay.co.uk%2Fitm%2FCLASSIC-ATARI-JOYSTICK-RETRO-MUG-CAN-BE-PERSONALISED-%2F190680411065%3Fpt%3DLH_DefaultDomain_3%26hash%3Ditem2c65702bb9%23ht_1757wt_1058 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R.O.T.S Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I own a black Pacman mug with an empty maze printed on it and when you pour a hot liquid in like tea the ghosts and Pacman appear. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck D. Head Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 I would suggest that maybe you don't run them through the dishwasher, if possible. I had some similarly printed mugs where the image got cloudy when run through the dishwasher. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesertJets Posted July 2, 2012 Share Posted July 2, 2012 Now if they had a Wang Computers mug I'd be all over that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ComputerSpaceFan Posted July 3, 2012 Share Posted July 3, 2012 (edited) Personally I like the Battery Mug Edited July 3, 2012 by ComputerSpaceFan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 (edited) As a Tandy Color Computer fanatic, I would think a "Coco" mug would be a slam dunk I'll have to ask the seller about that EDIT - They have a Dragon mug which is the UK equivilant of the Coco Edited July 4, 2012 by AtariLeaf Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JamesD Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 As a Tandy Color Computer fanatic, I would think a "Coco" mug would be a slam dunk I'll have to ask the seller about that EDIT - They have a Dragon mug which is the UK equivilant of the Coco Someone in the CoCo community used to sell CoCo mugs. It used one of the cartoon pics from the BASIC manual with "LONG LIVE THE COCO" underneath. He doesn't sell them anymore. I bought one myself. I kinda prefer these mugs to that one though.

Chuck D. Head Posted July 4, 2012 Share Posted July 4, 2012 Now if they had a Wang Computers mug I'd be all over that. I've resisted this straight line for almost two full days, but I am weakening. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AtariLeaf Posted July 6, 2012 Share Posted July 6, 2012 I contacted the seller and he has graciously added a Coco mug. Its very tempting to get this and the Atari 800XL version. I would, of course, have "Atarileaf" printed on them eBay Auction -- Item Number: 190699552227 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
