I'm going tomorrow... actually I was there this evening for BMAC.

If anyone sees a bloke with a Boston University shirt and an expression that does not encourage conversation, its likely me.

Don't try to outweird me, I get stranger things than you free with my breakfast cereal.

I thought that Apple stopped participating in Macworld because of the move from NY to Boston.

Macworld's east coast conference was formerly Macworld Boston. Several years ago it was moved to New York, and later, when IDG decided to move it back to Boston, Apple pulled out. I'm sure if Apple could swing it, they'd pull out of MWSF and create their own replacement, just as WWDC has served as the (much more expensive) replacement for the east coast Macworld.

That are my thoughts also. If Apple doesn't want to be at Boston. To be fair to its East Coast customers they should also cancel MWSF and Expo Paris. I can see WWDC because they need to keep the Developers happy.

When I heard that MW Boston was going to be at the Hynes, I laughed. I've noticed that there's been no news from the show, as well. At least, there's been none labeled as such.
Is this a good place for an argument?

I have thought about MWSF. Not sure that the expense would be worth the trip. Would prefer to use the money for a new Mac.
