So, I went to Macworld Expo 2008 today and the best thing about it that I can say is that I survived. There must have been something like 5,000 people there. I did ok at first, talking to a few people at booths and picking up some demo cd's and whatnot. Then I realized how these people at the booths weren't techies like me, they were just salespeople. They said things like "robust" and "intuitive" as though I would actually be impressed.
Additionally, There must have been something like 40 booths all based around customization of you ipod/iphone/iwhatever. Either I didn't realize that Mac users were this crazy or most of these companies are running on profit margins smaller than a quark.
Now, I know that it was just the sheer amount of sensory stimulation that was paralyzing. The people there weren't really the problem, I just can't handle that much "stuff" at one time.
Why is it that every salesperson thinks that their product is going to solve all your problems and completely change your life for the better?
