Did anyone go? Was it really this bad? Everyone says it was really not worth attending.

Well for one it wasn't a Macworld Expo, so there should have been no surprises that Apple didn't introduce new stuff.

yeah, i went-i only went for yesterday, but it wasn't great-it was like one third the size of last year's, and the Lacie girls weren't there!!!javascript:smilie(''). The only cool things released yesterday were Macromedia's contribute ( http://macromedia.com/software/contribute/ ) and Soundtrack was pretty cool-they showed people how to use it ( http://www.apple.com/soundtrack/ ).
But there was nothing really worth of interest.
I think I think...therefore, I think I am.

I don't like Macworld magazine or IDG and so I don't care if there's never another expo sponsored by IDG/Macworld ever again.

The magazine has SOME good articles. But, it's basically an advertiser's whore with 75% ads and 25% interesting and informative articles.

I canceled my subscription.

It does suck... but there are interesting/helpful articles monthly. I get mine for free... register something with Apple and it's a free gift! What a deal. My latest subscription's goin 'til next June.
