[pugnus maximus]

it will be nice to find out the news in the morning. maybe i won't need my morning coffee...

Nope, i'll still need my coffee!

[you]

good thing i'm on the west coast. i'll be refreshing macrumors furiously while doing my new powerbook dance

Edit: corrected word choice

[Nermal]

Hmm, I'm getting hit by the "you have already voted" problem again :(

I'll most likely be looking at MR. I think it's 9 PM local time.

Edit: It's letting me vote now.

[Mudbug]

I checked "sleeping" but if it's like most nights, I'll probably be up at 2 a.m. CT, so I'll probably be lurking around here somewhere...

Was #macrumors irc an option? I guess that would fall under "checking mac websites"

or for some people, sleeping would fit that too :)

Almost every poll or rumor site I've visited that has commented on the timing of the keynote, or the lack of a live stream, has forgotten that Paris is in Europe, a land populated by, amongst others, hundreds of thousands of Mac users. It's unlikely we'll be sleeping. We're most likely going to be at work. Some of us, who are lucky enough to work with a Mac at our desk, will probably be surfing for news as it breaks, but I fully expect that many of the sites, who seem to forget that there is a world beyond the US time zones, will be off the air.

Um... there is a Working/In School option for exactly that. :)

MacRumors will be operational.

I'll be in a cafe in Verona (Italy) sitting in the sun having breakfast. I'll be on holiday :D :D :D

[mac15]

[Megaquad]

Does anyone know when is keynote in CET time? (same as Paris)

[MattG]

Sleep be damned--I want my new Powerbook!

[whfsdude]

I'll be up doing homework/checking MR for updates :)

[stefman]

Since I live in Singapore, it'll be 3PM and I'll be checking the Mac sites like crazy!!!

Can't wait for the PB announcement!!

[nick8ascot]

I will be at work (UK timezone) however I'll be scanning Mac websites when I get home.:)

[Irafas]

SF keynotes are around 3AM in the morning here in Australia... it's refreshing to have one at 6PM in the evening. Very convenient.

[pivo6]

It will be 2AM and sleep for me. I will wake up a little early before I take the kids to school.

[Jerry Spoon]

I'll be sleeping, but I can also tell you what I'll be doing the minute I wake up...Maybe I should sleep with my iBook on my night stand that night.

[pimentoLoaf]

Though I'll zzzzz ... try to stay awzzzzzzz ... I'll probazzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ... be sleepzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz ...

:(

[yossele]

I planned to drive/fly down (from London) I even have 3 Keynote badges, I got free because i was from the first 5000 subscribers to the Expo/Keynote, but as it looks, 9:00am, I guess i'll be in Synagogue and Pray ( SJ should do something clever:-))

[samscam]

I will be a few hundred miles further south, sitting by a river among the vinyards of Languedoc eating cheese. We thought about it but in the end couldn't quite afford to get the TGV...

[brhmac]

D'oh!

[eom]

[iGav]

I'll be in Starbucks in Soho.. billing it to the client of course... :D and making use of the wi-fi service they offer...

Although they may be announced, don't get too worked up for them. Hope for Keynote 1.2 and a firmware update, and anything else will make the 16th seem like Xmas.

[Freg3000]

I'll be sleeping....At the first buzz of my alarm clock and 7 AM I am checking apple.com!

[driek]

Yeaahhaaa.

I will skip a day from school. Take the train to Paris (01:00) with the TGV ;) take the subway, enjoy the keynote, subway to the expo, take offcourse pics ;)
on the train back to belgium en the next on the train back to school for my last year multimedia technics :p

[bograt]

I will be International Baccalaureating (you need it to be able to spell Baccalaureate). :cool: .

International Baccalaureate Homepage (http://www.ibo.org) .

[thirdeg]

My first ever Apple Expo!!! I even got the company to pay expenses! How on earth did I persuade my boss that this could be a business trip?!?

[Chealion]

bograt - Its easier to say IBing... or something similar. You're in IB, therefore you're likely to BS on your reports and such lol... IB was fun.

I'm all done with school and IB, and since it starts at 1 AM my time, I could stay up and see it but I have work at 9 the following day.

[wdlove]

At 3am EDT I will be sound a sleep. I will be checking apple.com and this site later on Tuesday morning. Hoping to hear news about Panther.

[bennetsaysargh]

i'll be sleeping. before i go to be, i'll set my computer to load apple.com and MR in tabs, so i can see what happened before school:)

[MacManDan]

Man, this is MIT, At 3AM I'm usually still working on homework that I had started 8 or 9 hours before. Bah, I'm sure I'll take a quick gander at MR for some info ;)

[job]

Sleeping. I'm not too pumped about this expo. WWDC was huge. I guess new Powerbooks just don't excite me like everyone else. Then again, I'm not waiting for one... ;) :p

[scem0]

If it was on the weekend I would watch it, but Im gunna be sound asleep to be ready for school on Wed. :)

scem0

[Mr.Hey]

Lucky you! Found IB is not well known near me - I have to explain the whole course to A-level people continually.

Had first CAS meeting today - oh what a nightmare.
