I'm not going... But the G5 was not, well, a real surprise... We knew of the IBM chip well in advance - and it would have been dumb of Apple not to make use of it. The _only_ surprise was that IBM could deliver more than the anticipated 1.8 GHz.

Are you going?

Yes, I will be there... in line for the Keynote at 4:30 in the morning. Anyone else?

Everything but the Exhibit Hall is way too expensive for me. That's the only thing I'll be going to if I end up going.

Surprised who? We'd been talking about it for 6 months. At the end it was mostly confirmed, and there would have been rioting and looting at the ADC if they hadn't announced SOMETHING like it =)

Now the cheese grater case, THAT was a surprise.

Ah, you need to be associated with "the industry", then they usually give out passes to the others for major discounts or free =)

Yeah, an 18-year-old college student breaking into the computer industry and changing the shape of the computer world forever, leading to free passes to every expo from now until the end of time... I'll let you know when it happens, hm?
