Really looking forward to it. Thanks for the web and IRC coverage.

I normally listen to a few tracks of Spice Girls before I fall asleep, but I haven't been able to sleep last night because of all the buzz.

Looks like I'll stay awake at least until the afternoon.

Lunja · Jan 10, 2006, 09:34 AM

I'll be on a damn train... Let's see if WAP works though lol

EDIT: I've got a mobile phone which uses GPRS, so is there any way I'll be able to read an irc or macrumors through it? The train sadly won't have WiFi, so what do I do?

BornAgainMac · Jan 10, 2006, 09:35 AM

I hope it isn't disappointing. I bet half the rumors don't come true.

I woke up early because I had a friggin' dream about iTablets.

MacsRgr8 · Jan 10, 2006, 09:39 AM

Bring it on!

God, I love these build-ups

brepublican · Jan 10, 2006, 09:42 AM

For me, this is christmas all over again (or is it christmas 11 months early?) I woke up as though I was expecting to find something under the tree....

Yvan256 · Jan 10, 2006, 09:42 AM

Is there an IRC client bundled with OS X? If not, what do you people recommend? (can't find anything IRC-related in Adium X)

Shedonwanna · Jan 10, 2006, 09:43 AM

I think he will unviel the iButton. It is a new iBook with only one button that senses what you want to do and does it automatically.

"iButton, write thesis! Wow! It's flawless, i'm definatly getting my masters now!"

Can't decide if it's a good thing.

I'm whacked out of my brain.

Sonofhaig · Jan 10, 2006, 09:47 AM

I love this day! Even if I get a little disappointed, it's still so much fun. The anticipation, the suspense. Does the PC world have anything like this?

Seasought · Jan 10, 2006, 09:49 AM

This will be my first Macworld that is as close to live, without being there, as I can get.

Looking forward to it.

iSay, this sounds suspiciously like Staples' "Easy Button"...

iLike it!

thefunkymunky · Jan 10, 2006, 09:51 AM

I finish work just as the keynote starts (5pm UK time). I might have to stay behind tonight to get all the latest info.

LastLine · Jan 10, 2006, 09:52 AM

How long do we reckon until the show's up on quicktime's page? I'd much rather watch the thing from the start on video

Is it liable to be near straight after or are we talking days?
