Will you actually waste your time this year?

I attended MacWorld Boston last year. Thought it was time well spent. Plan to register by June 10th deadline for the Early Bird Price. Believe that it will get better each year, enough so that even Steve will return.

The lack of replies says just how sad it is.
No offense WDLove, but you have to admit, unless you owned an iPod- there was NOTHING there last year.

My wife and I enjoyed the conference sessions. I will admit that the exhibits were lackluster, which I blame Steve Jobs.

Macworld Boston blows, and it's not because of SJ or Apple. The organizers should've never moved it away from NYC, and I doubt SJ is ever going to show up at any future MacWorld in Boston. Heck, they shouldn't even be allowed to use the name Mac in their title.

My guess is it's all a conspiracy... Apple didn't want to piss off new yorkers by pulling out, but at the same time didn't want to have two major trade shows a year like they had been... so they got the IDG people to move it for em and take the flack...

.. but you really want him back

Yes, I want the success of MacWorld to improve to the point that Steve will be encouraged to return. He has customers on the East coast also.

Well, strictly technical, if you went last year, you wasted your time last year, right ? How would you go last year, but waste time this year ?
