<p>i was pretty disappointed. just the same boring commercial shit. endless booths of small software companies selling not very impressive products. it seems that this year, instead of announcing new and interesting products or new and interesting features being added to products, every software company had the same announcement: &#8220;now available for OS X!!&#8221; so i guess everyone&#8217;s been too busy porting their apps to do anything new.</p>

<p>Apple themselves didn&#8217;t have much to talk about either. their biggest announcement seemed to be that OS X.1 would be coming out in september and would include features that should have been in the original release anyway (<span class="caps">DVD</span> playback, Samba support, etc.). i guess if you hadn&#8217;t already had a chance to play around with the tiBooks and iBooks, it could have been interesting.</p>

<p>the new <a href="http://www.apple.com/powermac/">dual 800MHz G4&#8217;s</a> look pretty nice though.</p>
