Dear Friends,

I have been watching the weather via my Belkin webcam and my weather apps up in Vermont and it has been a remarkably mild autumn during stick season and the grass up at Prickly Mountain is still green. Down here in Key West it is just a boring sunny, 80 degrees. We picked a couple of grapefruits from the “cocktail” tree we planted last year and they were sweet and juicy. The Parrot Heads have left and I think the power boat races are up next here.

We had a very successful one-day sale at all of our locations. I worked the Key West store with Joe and we had a good time helping customers with Macs, iPads and speakers. Our friends over at Pirate Radio here in Key West did a couple of live remotes via their iPhone and a microphone. It was a far cry from the old days when a remote meant a table full of equipment, phone lines and several people.

The new Apple TV is now in our stores and we are trying our best to keep it in stock but I think it is going to be one of the biggest holiday gift items ever. Just as we start getting stock on the Apple TV we have received shipping notices on the new iPad Pro. I am very excited about the iPad Pro and I do think that it will help stimulate the iPad market. Tim Cook said he is traveling with only his iPad Pro and iPhone and it is certainly possible that is the new paradigm, but I cannot quite imagine going without my Mac just yet.

The Kibbles special of the week is a pair of Beats by Dr. Dre Powerbeats2 and a sport armband case for iPhone 6/6 Plus. Get it here!
