“Like Telluride without the altitude and Sundance without the attitude.” – Mark Shapiro, Head of Entertainment Brand Marketing, LAIKA Studios
The Ashland Independent Film Festival is five days of the highest-quality independent film, held in historic Ashland, Oregon. The Washington Post called it “a dream you’ll never want to leave.” Every Spring, Southern Oregon buzzes with the excitement of the AIFF. Over 7000 film lovers gather at the historic art-deco Varsity Theatre, the Historic Ashland Armory, and other venues to watch over 90 documentary, feature, and short films over five days.
Connecting Point returns for its third year as a Community Sponsor, providing an iMac computer and a wireless printer for the festival’s Hospitality Suite. We urge you to support the thriving arts community in our area. Visit the AIFF website to see the rich variety of films being presented at this year’s festival. Better still, pick up some tickets and celebrate independent cinema with like-minded folks in Ashland! It all kicks off today and runs through Monday.

It’s April Fool’s Day, but believe us, this is no prank…
We can dramatically boost the speed of your laptop or desktop by upgrading its hard drive to a Solid State Drive (SSD). The advantages are many: SSDs are faster, and because there are no moving parts, they’re more rugged and reliable, as well. They draw less power, which means the battery in your laptop will last longer. They’re cool, quiet, and lightweight, and work equally well in Macs or Windows PCs. Plus, prices on SSDs have plummeted, making this upgrade more affordable than you ever thought possible.
PROMOTIONAL PRICES:
- 120GB $249.99
- 250GB $319.99
- 500GB $399.99
Prices include the drive itself, installation, and “cloning” the data from your old drive to the SSD. TO SAVE EVEN MORE: “Like” our Bend Facebook page or our Medford Facebook page, and/or follow us on Twitter, and you’ll receive a 10% discount off these prices!
This offer runs from Wednesday, April 1st to Tuesday, April 7th, 2015. Please note our prices do not include additional hardware that may be required for installation (i.e., brackets, adapters, etc.). Also, your original drive must be functional; prices do not include data recovery, diagnostic fees, or additional repairs. And to take advantage of our social media discount, please be prepared to show us you’ve “liked” or “followed” us.

Today is the day. Back on February 26th, Apple sent members of the press invitations to an event they termed ‘Spring forward.’ This Daylight Saving Time wordplay almost certainly hints the event will involve the Apple Watch. Later this morning (at 10am PDT), the lights will go down in the Yerba Buena Center for the Arts Theater in San Francisco, and we’ll find out exactly what it’s all about. You can watch the event live online at this link.
To view the livestream, you’ll need to have version 5.1.10 or later of Apple’s Safari browser on your Mac, or Safari on iOS 6.0 or later on your iPad, iPhone, or iPod touch. You can also stream it through your second or third generation Apple TV, provided it has software version 6.2 or later. If you don’t have any of these options available, here’s a workaround that’ll let you stream it on Windows PCs and Android devices.
Here are a few links to media outlets’ live event coverage:

Excellent news for businesses: President Obama approved the extension of Section 179 to 2013 levels (as part of a larger tax extensions bill).
So what does that mean? Just this: Business owners will be able to deduct up to $500,000 worth of qualifying equipment and property* that were bought (or financed) and put to use in their business during 2014. That means you still have time to purchase new (or pre-owned) Macs, PCs, printers, all-in-ones, or iOS devices from Connecting Point and receive this deduction. Connecting Point can even deliver and install the new equipment for you.
But don’t delay: the deadline is December 31st (and please remember we’ll be closing at 5pm on that day).
*Many types of equipment and property qualify for the Section 179 tax deduction. Consult with your accountant or other trusted tax advisor to discover if the equipment you are considering is eligible.
