macworld

i went to macworld this morning. there was enough ipod crap there to cover the planet two feet deep in multi-colored silicone ipod sheaths. i didn't get to mess with either of the new macintel boxes because there was a mighty throng of sweaty geeks pressing up to those that were on display like so many suckling pigs that i could not be bothered to enter the fray.

probably the most noticeable thing was the increase in the booth babe population. traditionally, the macworld booths are manned by middle-aged men who are just as obsessive and awkward as the average macaddict. this year, to complement the fashion hype generated by the ipod, there were bonafide babes with flirty skirts and sassy stiletto boots scattered throughout the expo floor beckoning to the shy geeks to come thither and sample their wares. top prize goes to extreme mac who had chicks on treadmills to demonstrate the superiority of their ipod workout armband.

i actually did some work too. met the fine people of group logic to demo and discuss their file transfer system, mass transit, as a potential replacement for our current wam!net boxes.
