Whether you’re looking for cool new gear
or looking for great classics
iC has you covered.
Visit the store for on icy cool, new MacBooks and MacBook Pros. Inquire about deals for maximum memory upgrades, all-in-one printer rebates, keyboard protector skins, Microsoft Office 2008 Student/Teacher edition and ask for a live demo on iWork. See for yourself, the reasons we predicted Apple will reach number 1. (a year ago, word on the street was that Apple only had a 2% of the market share. At last check Apple had reached No. 3 in PC sales with the No. 2 Office Suite in the world.) Mmm! I See.
Top New Year’s Resolution: “This year I’m buying a Mac!”
Discover why at iC SuperCOMPUTERS!
Eric Scott, Mac Genius Jr. leads the Saturday morning Guitar Hero III contest at our log cabin store, showing of many fun new products (or should I say new fun products) available. We should note that the Guitar III for Mac not only works on a PC, but it works better on a Mac. Only on a Mac can you play with the game’s USB guitar, but you can also plug in a real electric guitar and both can play to the same song at the same time. Now, that’s a cool challenge - Guitar Hero III guitar vs. real guitar.
JBL provided one of many speaker options available from our log cabin store (see below for more options).
This one of the few places where you can get a hands-on demo of the top-rated FlightStick, while Fred Vermeer, Apple Certified Macintosh Technician, takes visitors on a flight from the Hamilton Airport, over the Grand River to the Brantford Airport or to the Toronto Island Airport with X-Plane, the best flight simulator ever - so realistic it’s actually used for pilot certification training. And, if you’re not spaced out by then, Fred will even take you on the Space Shuttle. If you’re still feeling adventurous try your hand at landing a F-18 Hornet on a fast FRIGATE. [ Not recommended for the faint hearted - Oh frig, I just overshot the break wire, clear the deck! ]
Colour Skins
These skins offer protection and style for the MacBook family.
Although, most of the products you’ll find are PC/Mac compatible, the biggest draw is the cool new stuff from Apple.
If you look at the history, it’s easy to see why Apple creates the featured must-have products that everyone loves today.
It’s not like Apple is new to the business. And, it’s not like Apple has never been the number one computer before. They have strong, survivor experience on both sides of the equation.
In the Mid-80’s Apple computer once topped IBM and Compaq for the position of the No.1 selling computer overall. Since 1999, right up to 2007, Apple computers has consistently placed as the number one selling computer of the Christmas seasons. In 2007 Apple products were number one in many categories.
This year we’re predicting that in 2008, Apple - with Steve Job’s help - will return to it’s position as the No. 1 selling computer overall.
NOTE: We first posted that prediction last year. Earlier this year Apple leap frogged to the number no. 3 position overall outpacing Lenovo, Gateway, Alienware, Sony, Acer and many others. We still expect to see Apple reach no. 1 this year. So what are you waiting for? Christmas!
Mac computers are now labeled as the best Windows VISTA PC. The Mac product line got off to great start in 2006 when the world’s leading publications compared it to a DELL and discovered it was actually faster and over $1,000.00 cheaper than an equally configured DELL computer.

At iC SuperCOMPUTERS’ Log Cabin Store, you’ll see both Apple and non-Apple products working in harmony. The store is authorized to carry over 200,000 products. But, we take the care and time to limit the number of products that enter the store. We’d prefer having system, printers, devices, gadgets, cameras, TVs, cables, scanners, sound systems and related products that work with both Mac and Windows, so that we can better support all of our customers during their transition stages from Windows to Mac.
