MacWorld Boston... No Apple?

Friday February 7, 2003 12:09 am PST by Arnold Kim
The Boston Globe reports nothing has changed from Apple's perspective on MacWorld Boston:




    Apple "will not be participating in Macworld Boston," the company said in a statement.



According to an IDG spokesperson - MacWorld Boston 2004 is happening... with or without Apple.

Who the heck wants it in Boston. No offense to Bostonites, but Boston is no New York City.

Bring it back darnit. Stupid people. You go Apple, show them who's expo it is!

You know, my thinking is the reason why Apple doesn't want to go back to Boston is all the bad memories that were spun....I mean, it is where Apple decided to let Microsoft within the flock...maybe their reasoning has to do with their wanting to break away from MS once and for all and Boston would only bring back horrible memories of Billy Boy's face overlooking the crowd with a sinister grin.

Just my two cents. :)

Yeah, I agree - down on Boston.

We still haven't forgiven them for the tea party over here, you know ;)

Boston would be a place I'd be able to get too. New York is too far off. I was really looking forward to finally getting to go to an Expo. But without Apple there, it'll be hella lame :(

Why should it matter where they hold expo? Maybe they should rotate locations every year.

DC -> NY = about 225 miles

DC -> Boston = about 445 miles


How is Boston a place you'd be able to get too, while New York is too far off? From DC, it's twice the distance...

Maybe during that time of the year you aren't living near DC anymore?

I thought Macworld was just some magazine.

Why doesn't Apple start their own expo? Or is this them trying to use someone elses dime?
