Buying Blue -Small Dog Electronics -Anti war -dog lovers.
Edited on Wed Oct-03-07 04:51 PM by alfredo
I have been going to their site for years, but until I joined their mailing list I didn't know their political leanings. I rarely read their mailings until I read one today.
Home page for Small Dog. http://www.smalldog.com/ Yes they are dog people.


Here's an excerpt from the mailing:

George Bush has made a mess of our foreign policy and he is leaving a very difficult mess for whomever follows him as President next year. It is a mess that has cost us nearly 4,000 American soldiers, countless civilians and put in place another mercenary army (read: Blackwater) that is beyond the law. We are exacerbating a very difficult situation by remaining in Iraq; we’re not solving any problems and creating a huge new army of terrorists. We are putting our tax money to work against our own interests!

The time for withdrawal from Iraq is now. The time to pay attention to our own priorities of health care, education, transportation and energy is also now. Oil is just going to become a more scarce resource with more demand from more places and it is the country that prepares itself through conservation and development of renewable energy that will have the most prosperous economy and the most secure citizens. We cannot be tentative about this—it is time to admit that we have made a grievous error and bring our troops and mercenaries home now.



I know it is a Mac centric site and most of you are PC users, but they are good Dems and deserve our business.

3. Lets hear it for Vermont
If this was anywhere else there would be protest's outside every location ( 2 or 3?) and eventually the place would be burned down.

6. I bought my second laptop from them years ago (a Mac Duo).
I need to get back on their emailing list -- changed addresses too many times.

IIRC, they sell only to registered members -- part of their deal with Apple, which lets them sell Canadian-made computers without import tariffs, or something like that (don't quote me, I've probably got the details wrong). But anyway you need to register.

Look in their "Basement" for closeout/misc (some **really** miscellaneous!).

7. They send little toy dogs with each order. Also this page
is where you can donate to various groups.

12. I was satisfied with the price and speed of delivery. I was happy to
find they had RAM for an older Mac.
