It's funny, I didn't really notice most of the things you noticed (although
it is obvious that no one can effectively cover all of both Moscone and 
Brooks Hall in one day and probably not in two).

What I noticed was all the video stuff.  Almost every booth had a Canon
Xapshot hooked up to a frame grabber.  MacroMind announced version 2.0 of
Director yesterday.  NuVista was showing off their video enhancement/control
systems.  There were so many flashy full motion video demos going on it was
pathetic.  I guess what was most pathetic was that I can't afford most of 
them (read that as nearly ALL of them).

It renewed my faith in the Mac as a system for the people (as long as the
people can afford it).

ARE YOU LISTENING OUT THERE, APPLE?
