When I think of
 - how many copies of AWGS and AW "classic" have been shipped
 - the price on each of these dudes

Either Claris has a lot of debts to pay off or their Macintosh sales just
aren't happening.  How much money does it take to come to AppleFest?  If
companies like Applied Ingenuity and the guys who make Xenocide can show
up, I think that Claris (which shouldn't be more than an hour's drive
away from SFO) can probably take up a collection and manage to send
*somebody*.

The problem is that there *isn't* any conspiracy to book trade shows.  It
would be nice if they would all conspire to show up...
