Dear Friends,

I was going to ride over to Lake George, NY today for the annual Americade Motorcycle rally, but the weather is cold, rainy and brisk so I am wimping out on that and will make my way over to the rally in Laconia, NH this weekend instead.

Apple’s big developer’s conference launches on Monday. WWDC, the WorldWide Developer’s Conference, is the biggest Apple event of the year, and we can expect a peek at what we are likely to see from Apple over the next year or so. I am sure we will see previews of the new Mac and iOS operating systems, and of course, the rumor mills are buzzing with speculation about new products.

We will have a complete run-down for you in the next issue of Kibbles & Bytes, but keep an eye on our blog, Barkings!, our Twitter feed, and our Facebook page for up-to-the-minute news and announcements as they happen throughout the week.

Now is a great time to buy that new Mac or iPad with the great financing program that is being offered in our retail stores. You can get 0% interest for 6, 12, or 18 months depending upon the value of your invoice. We launched this program this past weekend and customers are finding the application process to be fast and easy to manage.

I want to give a shout-out to David Boyd who will be leaving Small Dog in a couple weeks. David has been with the company for nearly 7 years and is one of those employees that really epitomizes our operating principle of “do it all with enthusiasm and joy”. David started out as a salesperson in our S. Burlington store when it first opened, rapidly moved to our tech department and really found his place as a full time consultant, solving customer problems, teaching classes and helping our business customers with sophisticated installations. We are going to miss David and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
