I went last year.  Learned all about System 7's new features:  Line Layout
Manager, Printing Toolbox,...  spent all the next year trying to figure out
how to integrate this great stuff with existing code.  No need to worry, since
Apple isn't releasing it (yet) anyway.  How much of THIS year's conference
will be the same?

I spent all week listening to Apple's session presenters duck the hard
questions, just so I could get the 32-bit quickdraw disk they passed out on
Thursday.  A week later I got one in the mail.  In my opinion, you should go
to the conference primarily to get a little 1-on-1 with other developers.
