Dear Friends,

The road trip to New Orleans had its ups and downs but we loved the Big Easy and spent some time listening to great music and consuming adult beverages. The Celtics game was a bit of a disappointment as the injury-ravaged team lost that game before heading out on a 4-game win streak out west.

The Apple announcements this week were great. I especially like all the software and tools that Apple has developed for educators. Education has long been a focus for Apple and lately they have been losing some ground to the Chrome books and their ilk. But, I really think that these new tools are compelling and that iPads, especially the new 6th Generation iPad with Pencil support, will be THE new tool in the best school districts.

In addition to the new iPads Apple has also introduced the Space Gray versions of the Magic Mouse, Keyboard and Trackpad. They have also released some new colors on iPad cases and a slew of new spring colors for watch bands.

I was so moved by the March for Our Lives and the incredibly articulate speeches given by high school students begging for our help. It really boils down to our children asking for our help to not get shot in school or on the street. Seems like a sorta reasonable request. These kids inspire me and I believe will change our world!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive is a fantastic bundle! It starts out with the Apple Factory Refurbished MacBook Pro 13-inch w/Touch Bar 3.1GHz i5 Dual Core 8GB/512GB in Space Gray.
