  • SF 2000, Day 6

    (Due to an Earthlink/Mindspring outage the update was posted later than planned. ) I”ve updated the design of my daily updates, hoping to make it more read-able. I spent much of the day at the Macworld Expo in the Moscone Center, downtown San Francisco. It’s not as big as NAB/Las Vegas, but it certainly is…
