Showing the love for Apple--and the Steves

Apple's 30th anniversary is just around the corner, and if CNET News.com readers' enthusiastic response to our call for Mac-related anecdotes and photos is any indication, Apple fans are viewing April 1, 2006 as a day worthy of celebration.

One site, ThankyouSteve.com (knowing the Mac faithful, there are probably other sites in the same vein), has devoted itself entirely to counting down to the big day by selling Apple 30th T-shirts, and even publishing daily Steve quotes (that's both of them--Jobs and Wozniak).

"To commemorate this occasion, we thought it would be fitting to recognize the company, and its founders, that introduced Macintosh, iPod and countless other revolutionary hardware and software technologies over the past three decades, with an insanely great Web site of our own," the site reads.

The T-shirts, which come in short-sleeve and long-sleeve versions (for $14.95 and $16.95, respectively) have "Thank you, Steve!" emblazoned across the front. The back reads: "Insanely great," with a big 30 atop a 1976-2006.
