Dear Friends,

I was only home here in the Green Mountains for a couple days before I hopped on a plane and went to Austin (not Houston, Emily 🙂 ) for the annual Apple Specialist Marketing Coop’s conference. The weather in Austin was nice the couple of times I was able to leave the hotel but with all the meetings and events I mostly saw the inside of the hotel and had bad hotel food.

Nevertheless, it was great to re-connect with other Apple resellers, vendors and some Apple folks. I had good meetings and the trip was definitely worthwhile. I got home the next morning and as Grace got up to let Max out she says “don’t look out the window”. Of course, I immediately did and all I saw was white. I mentioned this to our store manager in Key West, Joe Lytton, and when I missed a call from him later he cracked “I thought you were outside making snowmen”.

Notwithstanding the momentary snow, spring is truly here and the big apple tree outside my window here at the office is full of blossoms ready to burst open. I got the old rototiller started and the garden is ready. Of course, the black flies are now out in full force, too.

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive features a fully loaded MacBook Pro. This Apple factory reconditioned MacBook Pro has a 1-year Apple warranty just like new models. We are bundling it with AppleCare which extends that 1-year Apple warranty to 3-years but also extends the 90-days of free Apple technical support to a full 3 years as well. The MacBook Pro is a 15-inch model that features the 2.8GHz i7 processor, 16GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD drive. I only have three of these left so it is first come, first served on this bundle. The special price for Kibbles & Bytes readers only is $2699.99! That’s a $325 savings for the first three to grab this deal!
