Small Dog Electronics is a friendly, family-run computer business up in Waitsfield, Vermont. They specialize in Mac stuff and great personal service.

They'd prolly still be an obscure, local computer shop if it wasn't for the Internet - but Don Mayer, co-founder and all-around nice guy, had the foresight to put the business online and now they have customers all over the world.

We were buying stuff from Small Dog long before they were our sponsors, and we think they're pretty cool.

Small Dog carries new, refurbished and used Apple gear, and their deals are usually as good as the big, corporate mega-dealers - sometimes better. Even when their stuff costs a couple bucks more we'd still rather buy from them than deal with impersonal companies whose concept of customer care stops as soon as they get your money.

Next time you need something Mac - whether it's a couple of Zip disks or a new G4 - give the folks at Small Dog a call. Tell 'em we sent you. They'll treat you right. They'll treat you just as right if you don't tell 'em we sent you, but if you do, it makes us look good.

Even if you don't need anything right now, it's worth visiting their website. No other online computer dealer gives you three live dog cams, chat rooms, and a wonderful collection of photos of customers' canines. And no other computer dealer offers the enlightenment of Don's personal rants on politics and the state of the world.

Give Small Dog a try today. You can thank us later.
