[DM-MUG] Haddock

[Alan Hansen]

Darcy,

You are correct Haddock Computer has three retail showrooms Wichita, KS
(Since 1978), Oklahoma City, OK (Since 2002) and now Des Moines.  We are
Apple Specialists and are Apple Authorized Service Provider Plus providers.
As an Apple Service Provider Plus, Apple often dispatches us to perform
AppleCare onsite warranty repairs as well as Carry-In warranty repairs.  We
also can of course provide out of warranty service on Apple Products.

In addition to our three stores we cover 5 1/2 states as an Education Sales
Agent for Apple Computer.  As sales agents we work with both Public and
Private K-12 Schools as well as Colleges and Universities.  I have been
selling and serving Apple Computers here in Des Moines for 17 years.  We ar=
e
confident that we can compete with the Apple Stores and provide services
that they can't provide.  If you want more info about us please check us ou=
t
at www.gohaddock.com or just let me know.

We look forward to seeing everyone at next weeks DMUG meeting!  We will
provide pop and cookies.

Thanks!
Alan
