Though I have every issue of MacWorld ever printed, if it weren't for this site, I would never have really followed anything.

Be proud, dammit! :cool:

Until last year I've always been at the office during the keynote but I always checked the apple website right after the keynote to see what had been released. These past two years I've followed it online at my home office. (Makes for a nice long lunch break!)

This was the first MacWorld that I have ever followed up on. I really enjoyed following up on it, and I am sure that I will follow many more MacWorlds.

I was here when the flat panel iMacs were released.

I was here when the MDD towers were released.

I was here for most, if not all of the recent iceBook revisions.

To be completely honest though, I can't remember which events were actual expos.

But I have followed every expo since the release of the flat-panel iMacs.

Let's see. Around 6+. The first one I saw live was the one where the Apple Pro Mouse and the Sage iMac were introduced.

Attended the last 2 MW's in Boston. Attended MWNY 2002, if Apple is there I plan to attend in 2003. Went to the Apple Corporate Office in Boston for 2 MW's. Used Quicktime for MWNY 2003, it was great also! So that makes at least 6 for me, plan on many more. Just have to wait on Steve's decsion! :confused:

I voted 6+. I can't remember the first keynote, that I saw, but it seems like ages ago!

Anyway, based on the many keynotes, that I've seen, I'll say that this was one of the best ones!

Packed with announcements, and a lot of surprises since the rumor-sites wasn't that accurate foreseeing what was to come this year. Just the way I like it!

What do you think? Was this one of the best keynotes ever?

I followed MacWorld Expo the last year it was in Boston.....the first year I lived in Boston....I was broke and couldn't pay for the pass. I read the newspapers, looked at the pics online, chatted with an Apple employee who later became a friend of mine, and hung outside the convention center to soak up what I could outside LOL. I went to MacWorld NY when the original iMac was launched, went to MacWorld SF when the 5 colored iMacs and the Blue and White G3 was announced.....that was also the same expo that Mac OS X was announced instead of it being Rhapsody. I went to MacWorld NY when the original iBook was released. I watched the following SF expo online via QuickTime. I went to MacWorld NY when the Cube was released and the Dual G4, I loved the Cube despite what some might say. I fell in love with it right away and wanted it so bad. I took an arm full of Cube posters with me home. I just couldn't afford the Cube. This expo was the first with my fiance with me. We visited the Statue of Liberty, Ellis Island, and the WTC before it was demolished. I had my favorite MacWorld tee shirt ruined by a little girl with a chocolate ice cream cone at Ellis Island....darn it! I still have the picture of my girl and I holding each other in our arms and the WTC in the background. I watched the SF expo online. The rest of the expos I watched online. I had a lot of fun going to the expos and miss them. The feeling is just so special. I miss talking to Apple employees and getting free stuff. I miss being among my fellow Apple faithful. Unfortunately, money isn't there anymore to go.....shucks!

Is there a Apple Store within a reasonable distance? It's a great feeling also! :)
