We took a little larger booth space at the Expo this year because we wanted to invite some of the great partners and vendors we work with to show off their stuff to our customers, said Larry OConnor, president and chief executive officer of OWC. We know a lot about these products and love to talk about them with customers, but who knows them better than the people and companies that make them. Plus, this gives our customers a chance to meet some of the people behind the productsand this helps give a customer even more confidence in the products and services we sell.
In addition to selling many of the products being presented at this years show, a number of free shareware products and utilities will also be presented and made available to Macintosh users everywhere.
We have built our business on the foundation of trying to help Macintosh users extend the life of their Macintosh computer, OConnor said.
If there is a free product out there that will help our customers do that, we want to help them learn about that product every bit as much as the products we actually sell. Its about good customer service.
