Dear Friends,

Okay I did turn on the heat at the house the other day. We have always had our unofficial rule of no heat until after Labor Day, but I had dinner with Hapy the other night and he claims the rule is no heat until after Halloween. Well, that ain’t happening…

We are thinking of all the folks in the path of Florence. Stay dry and stay safe, please! I look at the National Hurricane Center almost daily and if a storm looks threatening I move over to Mike’s Weather Page for more detailed information. Anyone that does not believe that these mega-storms are a result of climate change is just hiding their head in the sand.

There were big iPhone and Apple Watch announcements this week which we will cover in detail. I have thought a lot about upgrading, being the spoiled Apple fanboy that I am. I think I will get a new Apple Watch because I really like the idea of the ECG on my wrist. I am still mixed on the new iPhone since I love my iPhone X so much.

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes Exclusive is the MacBook Pro 15-inch w/Touch Bar. It features a 2.9GHz i7 Quad Core Intel processor,16GB ram, 512GB SSD and the RP560 4GB video card. It is silver and one of our bad box specials – the shipping box has a dent but the contents are perfect and comes with the Apple 1-year warranty. This unit is eligible for AppleCare + and if you ask when you place your order we will offer you AppleCare + for $40 off too! This unit is selling on our website for $2399.99 and we have only 4 available. This week for Kibbles & Bytes readers it is $250 off at $2149.99 first come, first served.
