In-Store Lessons

Many of our customers who come into our retails stores are first time Mac users and it’s not uncommon that many feel a bit overwhelmed with the idea of a new computer and computer system to learn.

To help our customers, we offer beginner lessons on a regular basis on Sundays in our South Burlington retail store. We realize it’s not always the best time and location for many of our customers, so in addition to the group class, we also have in-store lessons available in all our retail stores. Many customers find this to either be a great follow up to the the group class, or another option to increase your computer knowledge and comfort with your purchase.

At our retail stores, we offer by-appointment-only 20 minute one-on-one lessons for $39.99. Typically, we can accommodate a customer the same week they call. We can usually cover 2-3 basic computer operations or how-tos on a piece of Apple software. If 20 minutes is not enough time or you need further help, we also have hour long consults available for $89.99.

This kind of one-on-one help is usually best-suited for customers who have multiple detailed questions about software, their Mac or those who are having trouble with a piece of equipment. If you’re not sure how long you will need, just come in or give us a call so that we can determine what would be best for you.

To schedule an in-store lesson, simply call 800-511-6227 and select option 1!

  • 4th Annual Free Recycling Event!

    For the 4th year in a row we are very excited to once again offer a free electronic waste recycling day. This event continues to grow for us and has become hugely successful, each year it seems we manage to recycle more than the previous year and each year think we can’t top the year before.

    In fact this event has become so incredibly success that this year we will offer this event in 2 locations! On Saturday October 23rd we will be offering free electronic recycling in both Vermont and New Hampshire. Without the incredible support from the community an event as large as this would not be possible, so start your fall cleaning now and drop off your unwanted electronics for FREE.

    * **WHEN:** Saturday, October 23 from 9am – 3pm
    * **WHERE:** Mall of New Hampshire in Manchester, NH **and** Ben & Jerry’s Headquarters in S. Burlington, VT

    No matter how many years I have lived in Vermont, it seems that literally overnight the trees seems to turn color all at once, and this year is no exception. You start to notice trees beginning to change in some areas as early as August and you know that once again, Fall is here. Driving around this past weekend, it seemed that the roadsides and mountains were lighting up with color everywhere I looked.

    Have a wonderful October, and we hope to see you in the store!
