Although the doors open today, I don't consider the conference really open until Tuesday after Steve Jobs Keynote address. Apple will not show anything that will be announced in the Keynote until its over... so those in the know don't go on the first day.

My next machine will be a Mac. So much more photo stuff...
I note B&H and other camera/photography sellers listed. I buy from B&H.

Do you think there will be something new? The boards have been pretty quiet.... As a matter of fact, nobody is really expecting anything as far as I can tell.

I'd be happy if Apple announced today's Macbook Pro in 17" with LED backlighting and a pre-loaded OS 10.5 VMWare OS 9.2X (to replace "Classic")...

Of course, what I'd really like is for the MSGeeks at ACD systems (who bought Deneba) to hire some real programmers and resume development on Canvas for the Mac. (They stopped Mac Canvas development at Canvas X; the PC version is already at 11... :-(

I suppose ACD's so-called "marketing" folks haven't looked at the slope of the OSX vs Vista market share curve lately -- or, they are too dense and/or brainwashed to comprehend...

Oh, well, I suppose I could always run my "workhorse", Canvas, on XT via VMWare on my new Macbook...

Yeech

I know many here love their Macs but the local Mac stores here in Nashville feel more like the editorial office of The Nation than anything else.

Perhaps this is what is in the Air at Macworld???

Adobe AIR.

If so, you saw it here first...

It would be peachy if Jobs were to address the logic board meltdowns in the early iMacs and explain why some Macs are covered for replacement costs and other Macs aren’t.

But that would require an admission that Apple installed crap boards in the early iMacs.
