We’ve got the Power! Thanks Nick Floro and Sealworks!
Filed under: Community Support, Independents Hall
IndyHall isn’t a “Apple-Only” office, but by some feat, almost everyone here’s on a Mac. The downside to this is the occasional PC person who feels a bit intimidated to walk in here with their laptop…but the upside is interoperability!
Picture this: you pack up your things to head to IndyHall only to get here and realize you left your darn power cable at home. With most PCs, you’re SOL. But with any of the Magsafe-enabled Macbooks, sharing has always been an option.
We wanted to buy a bundle of the magsafe power adapters to have as spares, as well as to strategically place around the office (in the conference room and the lounge, the two places people tend to go with their laptops besides their desk). But Apple’s a bit of a stickler and doesn’t really have any bulk pricing options, even through their 3rd party vendors.
When I tweeted about the fact that we were looking for a bulk discount, Nick Floro from Sealworks (and PANMA board member) sent me a note and said he’d donate a few to IndyHall. Awesome!
A couple of weeks later, 3 magsafe power adapters showed up and are now happily placed in our lounge and conference room for your convenience. There’s a 3rd for emergencies, all you have to do is ask.
Thanks Nick, your generosity is phenomenal. This is just one more example of how awesome the Philadelphia community really is.
