Hi Tom, You might give a call to the Smith Computer Store on campus: http://www.smith.edu/its/computerstore/. I believe that there is complete public access, although it's a little known fact. Price may be same as Apple Store, but you gain the option of having any technical support even closer than Holyoke. I've been very happy with service after having bought several computers there over time.
