What will happen at Macworld: Why bother listening now??

by PortVista - 1/15/08 5:25 AM

1. Why would I care about Macworld when I use a PC and would never own an iPod.

2. Why would I listen to a podcast that speculates about an event that's going to happen in a few hours?

Not so far off the mark with point 1.

To be honest you are right, with Apple being a key competitor for Microsoft they are both likely to steal ideas from each other.

I mean look at Time Capsule, it looks like they may well have taken a page out of Microsofts WHS book, not to say that MS has not stolen a whole bunch of things from Apple

I don't currently own a mac, although I have been tempted by a Macbook for a while. This does not stop me from being interested in what is going on, just as I would be interested in the latest camera that takes bajillion pixels images even though I don't own one.

if you're interested in uniquely designed tech products...

I am, and I think many other listeners are. I assume you don't own an iPhone, so I'm sorry you had to endure the hoopla/hype several months ago.

Best,

Huh?

So why do we care that you have a PC and don't have an iPod and aren't interested in Macworld? Why are you telling us this? Do you make it a point to let everyone know when there's a story you aren't interested in? It must really slow down your news reading!

Gateway World

MacWorld is at least a platform. If it helps get that platform so I can compete with PC. Great. As for MacWorld and Apple...I have slightly more interest in that than I would Gateway World and Less than I would for Linux world.
