Posting from MacWorld
I'm taking a quick break from the MacWorld Expo show floor, and decided to make a quick blog post.
I spent a good chunk of time with the people at MarkSpace, asking about Missing Sync. It looks good, though I'll need to upgrade my OS to take best advantage of it. The reps there was very helpful.
Also stopped by the KeySpan booth to talk about the USB Server and my ongoing hangup with my Epson scanner. Jose Arellano, the company's tech support manager, gave me his card and asked me to send the info; he promised to look into it.
I bought a copy of Spring Cleaning on show special; bought a new battery for the iBook, from Other World Computing (I'm typing from the floor of a hallway, near an electrical outlet, because my current battery is shot); and bought one impulse item: an InstantMusic device from ADS Tech that will let me plug the minidisc into the Mac -- optically -- for digital recording of Minidisc files and creation of CDs. Could be fun ...
Alas, I went to the Griffin booth and asked to see the new software for the Radio Shark, but they aren't demonstrating it. Also went to the both for Osirix to ask some questions, but they weren't there. I'm heading back shortly.
An aside: here in the hallway, an Italian fellow is sitting on my left, using the other electrical outlet. (He has a complicated multi-plug on his power brick.) His companion is sitting on my right. (On the other side of him is a bathroom door, so she's not sitting there.) They're conversing back and forth, and it feels very continental. Only downside: he has a huge beautiful PowerBook, while I have a small lowly iBook.
