Grand Opening of the Apple Shop @ Best Buy

1125 Woodruff Road
Friday, May 30, 10:00 am

Greenville Chamber of Commerce will be present for the ribbon cutting and an Apple Representative will be on hand to answer questions and assist with purchases.

I want to challenge everyone to attend the ribbon cutting ceremony @ 10am on Friday - we need to have a big turnout to show our support for Apple in the Upstate!!! There will be news coverage…. see you guys at the grand opening!!!

You may have already heard the news but I’m a big advocate of encouraging people to always backup their data.  Insurance or warentees can recover hardware, software can be reinstalled but you own unique data can not be recovered or replaced as easily.  Sure, they are recovery services but they are very expensive.  I know a lot of people have been waiting to buy and install Leopard because they were waiting on a good backup/disk clone option.

Today is the day. SuperDuper! 2.5 has just been released and is Leopard ready. If you aren’t backing up on a regular basis or don’t have a clone I urge you to get this software and a backup drive.  We will be covering backup options in a future meeting.

Mac OSX Leopard goes on Sale Oct. 26, 2007.  You can pre-order on the Apple site (remember you can get a family pack for $199.  That saves if you have more that one computer (up to 5).  Also stayed tuned for news on a Leopard Party on Launch Day.

In an open letter from Steve Jobs Apple is announcing a $100 credit to current iPhone owners as a result of the current price drop and complaints by the customer base.
