How apple Computers can be used
to enhance your business.
Apple announces the iPad, changes the course of history
In 1976, Steve
Wozniak
works for Hewlett-Packard and Steve Jobs works
for Atari. In 1977 Apple moves out of Steve Jobs' garage. The Apple logo is
designed. By 1980 there are one million personal computers in the US.
Now there are 310.6 Million!
Ruben
Mercado,

“Let's talk business”. His presentation will focus on how the Apple team can
help your business.
The dedicated Business Team at the Apple Store will take the time to learn
about you and your business. They will do more than make sure you get the
products and services you need — they are looking to build a partnership so
that you will always have a trusted source for advice and inspiration.
The Business Team knows technology inside and out. They work with businesses
of all types and sizes — everyone from owners looking to expand the use of
technology to IT professionals supporting Apple products at their companies.
And because they have Apple Store locations all over the world, they are
available wherever you need them.
With breakthrough iOS devices and powerful line-up of Mac notebooks and
desktops, they have everything you need to run your business.
Ruben will be supported by three of his Apple Business colleagues, so get
your questions ready!
