I have been going to MacWorld for a long time, not since the beginning when Macs were this cute little toy that did things in black and white but somewhere in the middle when they were biege boxes that crashed a lot. When I was Art Director at KNTV we had a couple 9600's and eventually one of the first candy colored iMacs.
It was then I started going to MacWorld when it was more like going to Woodstock than a computer convention. Very cool stuff and excited people. That was when Apple had a huge booth and Steve Jobs would give the keynote to introduce the iPod or whatever was the latest thing.
I was in the audience when he announced the iPhone.
But now MacWorld is really iPhone/iPad World. I don't think I even saw a Macintosh computer at the show, maybe a few laptops. It is all iPhone cases and iPad stands. More like a trip to the mall than anything else.

The most interesting things at the show are outside, the people you pass by on the streets of San Francisco. Like this fellow who is a dead ringer for a famous religious figure. Besides his taste for sagging pants, I especially like that he is holding 2 cups of coffee with a cigaret in each hand plus a cigaret in his mouth.
