Good afternoon friends,

I hope you’ve had a great holiday weekend. The season for watching our thermostats is upon us. Like the seasons, businesses change as well. Our team has added some new members lately, and their smiling faces would be happy to greet you in our stores.

I’m Mikhael Cohen (pronounced “mi-KALE”) but you can call me Mike. To introduce myself: I’m a long-time Apple Certified Macintosh Technician, and Small Dog Pup, who has recently taken the role of Service Operations Manager at Small Dog Electronics. When not in one of our stores, I can be found running (with icicles on my face), playing Scrabble, or taking the occasional college course.

If you have a Mac, Android phone, Internet-Enabled Refrigerator, or anything else that looks sort of like a computer, this week’s articles may interest you. Scott talks about IPv4 (your computer’s home address on the internet…for now) and Kyle talks about the black box that is your electronic hardware as well as discussing his experience operating on a new Retina 5k iMac in Rutland — our floor demo model that arrived with a bad graphics processor.
