Macworld Conference & Expo 2004 Boston Starts Today

IDG moved it's summer Macworld from New York City back to Boston from whence it came, away from Apple's huge New York graphics media customer base. Apple's CEO Steve Jobs was livid at the change of venue and pulled Apple out of the summer event, probably costing IDG's CEO his job. Despite the lack of Apple's presence and that of other major third party companies, it should still be an interesting event for East Coast Mac users. Macworld Boston runs July 12-15 in Boston's brand new conference center. [Dana Baggett]
