Dear Friends,

I took a quick trip down to our Key West store to check in with the team down there and to button up my house until I go down in the fall. Putting up hurricane shutters is a little like getting the firewood stacked for winter except for the heat which instantly had me drenched in sweat as I twisted hundreds of little wing nuts. Luckily, Joe Lytton, the Key West store manager, told me about a drill attachment made specifically for wing nuts that made the job easier.

School has started here in Vermont as in most areas of the country, but we still have some time left on our back-to-school sale. We can save you up to $250 on a Mac or $100 on an iPad and a ton of other accessories on sale, too.  You can check out all of the sale details on our Mac-to-School page.

As I drove in to work this morning I noticed that some of the trees are already turning color and I know with Labor Day coming up that autumn is not far away. One sure sign is that my favorite snack bar, Maynards, right down the road is closing for the season. It is also rumor season for Apple with lots of speculation on what, when and where Apple may announce new products. I am getting a lot of email from our overseas suppliers that claim to have cases and accessories for these unannounced products. We may not be the first out of the gate with cases but we will make sure they fit as Apple has been known to make changes right before production and these early guesses can be costly.   

This week’s Kibbles & Bytes special is the iPad micro – also known as the iPod touch! This is the most popular iPod with a great camera and the ability to run iOS apps in addition to 16GB of storage for your music and photos. The iPod touch in Space Gray is the latest version and in honor of the coming season, I am going to bundle it with a pair of Urban Ears Plattan Headphones in Pumpkin color!

This bundle is exclusively available to Kibbles & Bytes readers for $225.99!
