But does Claris gain anything by coming?
Chances are that Claris sales aren't going to be significantly 
affected (in the short term) whether they come to Applefest or not.
AI and Xenocide need to show their products or go bankrupt.

Although it would still be nice for Claris to show up (I agree that
it can't cost that much to come)
