Well if they go COOL if they don't on NY 2003 and less on Boston 2004
what would be macworld without Apple for at least the ones who go from
other countries ???
I mean yes I enjoyed seeing all vendors at macworld, and you can
remember how some big vendors didn't go on last edition, but the CORE
has to go if not why i will travel from so far?
I don't have vendors nor Apple at my country so is like the opportunity
to met and see and touch and be part of the "party" "emotion" and
"revolution"...
For me the price can't be justify if I can't see Apple :(

This news certainly seems disconcerting. According to some published
reports, Apple was well informed of the negotiations to move to
Boston, and did not mention any problems with IDG doing so.
A few reports have surmised that while IDG was able to renegotiate a
better contract in Boston, they may not have offered any savings to
Apple. Thus ticking off the hand that feeds them. Or maybe Apple just
wants a better deal from IDG. Either way, a few have proposed that
Apple is just threatening to pull out to better their bargaining
position with IDG.
I wouldn't worry about it at this point. MacWorld (in the summer of
2003) is still scheduled for New York, and I'll bet that Apple will
be there.

APPLE SAYS NO TO MACWORLD BOSTON
Apple Computer has said it will not participate in Macworld when it
returns to Boston in 2004. The last Macworld New York will be in July
2003, and Apple may not participate in that event either, citing its
disagreement with IDG World Expo to move the show back to Boston.
Apple
confirmed that it would take part in Macworld San Francisco in January
2003. According to IDG World Expo, Macworld outgrew the convention
facilities in Boston, which has hosted Macworld for 13 of 18 years,
and
this prompted the move to New York. Boston has completed new
facilities
that can accommodate the convention, prompting the return to Boston.
Macworld is expected to generate roughly $40 million for the city of
Boston.
