Dear Friends,
Happy Chanukah! Grace got out my Mom’s menorah and lit some candles but it is sure different being down here heading into the holidays in the sun rather than snow. I do get to watch the winter in Vermont via the webcams, but it is not quite the same as hanging out with the white stuff all around. I am not complaining, for sure.
With some extended hours and some great values, all of our retail stores are ready to help with your holiday shopping whether it is time for a new Mac or an iPad or some Beats headphones. We are in the middle of our “Be Safe for the Holidays” campaign where we are giving $15 to Prevent Child Abuse Vermont for each hard drive or Apple Time Capsule sold. I can not think of a better gift than a data backup solution for that special someone on your list. I know we have talked many times about how important it is to back up your data. Too many times people come in with failed hard drives and we hate the look on their face when we give the bad news that data was lost. Hard drives fail, it is just physics. In most cases, if you are using a traditional disk hard drive that is spinning at anywhere up to 10,000 rpm you are relying upon bearings and other mechanical components to protect your precious photos, writing and files.
Need a quick gift for five of your favorite friends? This week’s Kibbles & Bytes special is a 5-pack of Chill Pill Speakers. This is a great stocking stuffer and we are offering a buy one get one promotion now but exclusively for Kibbles & Bytes readers we have a B2G3 promo! You get five Chill Pills for only $79.98! That’s a $200 value!
Kibbles & Bytes will be taking a break next week and return on January 2nd with my predictions for the new year and a review of my crystal ball for 2014. But for this week let’s do a quick recap of the Apple year in review for 2014…
