Happy Tuesday,

Last week sure did bring crazy weather to our corner of the world. First we saw significant snowfall (Don had over a foot up on Prickly Mountain!), and the weekend brought temperatures in the seventies and eighties with high humidity.

It was a first real taste of Spring, and I took full advantage by prepping my gardens, attending a health care rally at the State House in Montpelier, riding a few hundred miles on my motorcycle, and enjoying excellent barbecue with excellent friends.

I’m headed down to Washington, D.C. with Don, Ed and Kali for the Apple Specialist Marketing Coop (ASMC) annual conference. This conference includes valuable seminars and provides lots of time for networking, all in the name of better serving you—our customers. Sharing best practices with other Apple Specialists is perhaps the most productive way to spend the little free time we’ll have.

Our community is open and eager to collaborate. I’d love to hear of your experiences with other Apple Specialists. Do you prefer an Apple Store for your repair services, or do you have a favorite independently-owned repair shop?

I look forward to hearing from you, and sharing your stories in next week’s Tech Tails.

Enjoy this issue, and, as always, keep in touch.
