Dear Friends,

Holy Cow! The Cubbies did it. The Cubs are World Champions. It was perhaps the best game 7 in a World Series ever. Grace and I are hoarse this morning from jumping up and down and screaming. We have been Cubs fans, as you know, for our entire lives and go to at least one game a year. Grace will always buy a scorecard and keep score the old-fashioned way and cheer on the Cubbies. It was 108 years in the making but the victory is sweet. My first Cubs game may have been before I was born as my mom was also a big Cubs fan and would go to Wrigley on Tuesdays for Ladies’ Day. We lived in Wrigleyville so it was an easy walk and when I grew up a bit Wrigley became a sort of daycare center for my brother and I. Congratulations to the Chicago Cubs for a great victory and one dead curse.

I could go on and on about the Cubs but I guess we will get down to business. We have started to get the new MacBook Pros into our stores, especially those without the Touch Bar. I can’t wait to see the new models with the Touch Bar. We have been discussing how to display the large selection of laptops that Apple offers now. Suffice it to say it is a great line-up. I am probably going to move from my 13” MacBook Air to the new Touch Bar 13” unit.

It has been 108 years since the Cubs won the World Series so this week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive is $108 off of the Apple Factory Refurbished MacBook. This is a configure-to-order version of the MacBook with the larger 512GB SSD storage option, 8GB of RAM and the 1.3 GHz processor. It carries the same 1-year Apple warranty as new MacBooks and can be covered by AppleCare. In fact, if you buy this MacBook (while supplies last – 5 gray and 2 gold currently in stock) we will give you $71 off AppleCare representing the 71 years since the Cubs were even in the World Series. So, to summarize Apple MacBook regularly $1385.99 is only $1277.99 and you can add AppleCare which is normally $249.99 for only $178.99.
