Dear Friends,

I got out on the golf course to play with some old (and I mean OLD ;)) friends this week. We were playing in an event for a great organization, the Central Vermont Home, Health and Hospice. I sank a 40-foot put on the first hole and that was the highlight of the day for me. It was a beautiful summer day in Vermont and we had a great time laughing and hitting a little ball.

I promised myself that I would not upgrade to the new betas of the operating systems until the third beta was released, but when I got notice of the 2nd one, I was sorely tempted. Do you know what operating system you are running on your devices? This week we show you how to figure that out.

Grace is planning our annual 4th of July party which we have been doing for like 40 years and she broke down and called it a tradition. But, hey, 40 years, that would be a tradition!

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes exclusive is a gold MacBook 12-inch. This CTO MacBook has the 1.3GHz m7 processor, 8GB of ram and a 512GB SSD drive. We are bundling it with AppleCare + this week. We have only two of these available so clearly first come first served! Regularly this bundle is $1898 but this week for Kibbles & Bytes readers you can get the configure-to-order gold MacBook with AppleCare+ for only $1589!
