Happy Tuesday,

Small Dog technicians in all three locations are at full tilt providing free data transfers, repairing customers’ machines, and refurbishing hundreds of iMacs and MacBooks. These refurbished machines are about two to three years old and are just the ticket for the Mac user who spends most of his or her time browsing the web, managing photographs in iPhoto, and keeping in touch with friends and family over email. They’re plenty powerful to run Mac OS X 10.6 Snow Leopard and the iLife 11, and they’re selling fast. Check out Smalldog.com/used to see all of the used and refurbished gear we have available.

I traded in my second generation 32GB iPod touch last week for a current-generation 32GB iPod touch. My older iPod has served me well by keeping my entertained on transcontinental flights and in touch while on the go. For the most part, though, I think of my iPod touch as Tivo for my favorite radio shows. Now more than ever, I am driving back and forth to our Manchester, NH store and find myself catching up on podcasts.

Vermont Public Radio, Northeast Public Radio and New Hampshire Public Radio stations are reserved as presets in my car, but there are plenty of spots around the northeast without radio coverage and I’m rarely listening to the radio Saturday mornings for Car Talk and Wait Wait.

Just like Tivo lets me watch only the television I care about, my iPod lets me listen to everything I want to while on the go. The front and back cameras are pretty sweet, and the Retina Display is unbelievably sharp. Try as I might, my eyes simply cannot discern individual pixels.

As always, thanks for reading, and keep in touch.
