Live from CeBIT 2005

[Zone-MR]

I'm posting this from the CeBIT trade show in Hanover, Germany. While unfortunatly this year there aren't many demonstrations of Microsoft beta products (other than VS.NET 2005), there's a lot of other exciting gadgets on display. I've posted a mini writeup at http://zone-mr.net/?cebit05

Brings back memories of my youth, for about 5 years I went to COMDEX , ( Loved all the give away 5.25" disks then 3.5" disk with Demo's on them, and all the other gadets that were give aways, I even won a $1000 software package in a drawing. To this day even still have my MS Word 6.0 Fanny pack, LOL.

Have fun. Even though I was under 20 during thoose fun times, I still remeber how much my feet hurt at the end of the day (and my arms from the bags ),

Haha, I feel exactly the same way. It's great fun, but after a whole day of walking around, my feet are aching, and even the lightest objects I'm carrying seem to weigh a ton.

Never been to COMDEX, but I have some initial plans to go there this November. Should be interesting to compare with CeBIT.

I looked for them specially today, but surprisingly they weren't exhibiting anything. I'm a little dissapointed that neither Microsoft nor Apple had anything exciting to show. Apple weren't there, and Microsoft just demonstrated products which have already existed for a while. I was hoping MS would show their Media Center Extenders (due to launch Q4 in Europe), and that Apple would show off their mac Minis and upcoming models of the iPod.
