Apple expo, Porte de Versailles - Hall 1

Here’s where I went today.

Since I couldn’t be in Atlanta with most of my LJ ‘flist, I hit the last day of the Apple Expo.

I’ve been to a few in San Francisco and they’re all the same; a nicely decorated convention hall, small booths full of vendors mostly interested in talking to each other, not enough “gimmes”. Due to a network error, my nametag came out blank, so I was Mister ( ) today.

Here’s the loot I got:
Some kind of Apple Expo/Prodigy poster in French.
Micro-CD of Space Invaders Game, with JBL speakers as the aliens.
Lots of magazines, brochures and stickers.
Cegetel lime green pen.
Maxtor paperclip that mounts on the side of your monitor to hold documents for easy reading.

I also got my hands on the new G5 iMac.

Very nice design, all ports are along the back right-hand side (below the CD/DVD drive). I left Sinister Bedfellows open on as many machines as I could get to.

Apple was playing Black Eyed Peas in every video, which I liked.

Oh, and then there’s this.
Does anyone remember the iSmell? This is the P@D Osmooze, a programable scent diffuser, for la communication calme olfactive.

And I got a new T-shirt. It says:
“An ordinateur sans Windows c’est comme un gâteau au chocolat sans moutarde.”
