MPG Goes to Macworld (Matt's Reflections)

July 15th: Well, this is it Adam and me are on a plane back to Jacksonville. Overall I think that I am satisfied with the Boston MacWorld, there were a lot of really friendly vendors, and almost everything was provided for us. I realize that in my last review I raged on the convention a little bit and that is for the simple reason that we were on a tight schedule and ran out of time, I just didn’t get a chance to get to the good stuff. First of all the building was amazing, it was brand new and it totally rocked out loud. We got treated really well, getting our media badges was no hassle and every one was very professional. They had a free shuttle running to and from the Macworld convention center every fifteen minutes. The food was provided, and there was a media room set up with drinks and computers with Internet access just for the media and staff. And a big whoooot to Spymac for their booth best one there by far they had to give out flyers because people were afraid to come in, it just looked so good in comparison to the other booths, me and Adam Actually helped the Spymac folks out because two of their employees didn’t show up and they really are a good and legit group of people in spite of what is said about them often times.

Part 1
9:00 am

We are as of now on a plane on our way to the much talked about Boston MacWorld convention. Me and our proud owner, Adam Jackson are on our way to promote MPG. As all trips are stress full this one especially as it so happens my bro Adam has a iPod while all I have is a mediocre CD player and as you all know those really suck and it just so happens that we got the tiniest plane ever made. And every one of you knows how much of a hassle it is changing Cds and batteries during a packed plane flight. You know CD players really, really suck and it’s a on going problem so I’ve decided to save up for a an iPod but I am a 15 year old kid with no job other than writing reviews for MPG so I need YOUR help any donations or contacts any of you much appreciated readers can make for me are greatly appreciated so do what you can or just say you tried.

But enough about my problems and the raising of my personal gain lets talk about Boston Yep we are going and are very exited about it and we will definitely keep those who couldn’t make it this year posted. You can expect new post about how Boston went very shortly.

With love, your favorite MPG writer

Part 2
Well, here it is, Thrsday the last day of the 2004 Boston Macwolrd comvention, It is 10:22 and the doors open an 11:00. Personaly i cant wait, its that exiting last day where all the companies are trying to get rid of all their products and samples and we try to bring you out greatly appriciated readers the gread reviews you want and deserve. Adam is interviewing Beth Wickenheiser from, and the results of that will be posted later today by either myself or Adam. But this being my first macwold I have to admit it is not what i expeceted, it is alot smaller that what they had hoped, only about a fourth of the space hey rented was filed up. I heard great stories about the past Boston and San Francisco Macworlds and i guess i had a high expectations. Apple didnt even show up to this convention and they had to give Microsoft free space to get them over here. Many of the people who have gone to the past Boston Macworlds said that this time arround was emberassing and that the past Macworlds were easily 10 times in size. I was actually told that at some point in time in 1997 Apple ran out of room inside and had to set up circus tents outside in the parcing lot...


Many of the people who have gone to the past Boston Macworlds said that this time arround was emberassing and that the past Macworlds were easily 10 times in size. I was actually told that at some point in time in 1997 Apple ran out of room inside and had to set up circus tents outside in the parcing lot...Some Mac users are concerned about what this decline in the convention size and quality means for the actual company , we do cetainly hope that the decreas if Boston Macwolrd has no relation to the Apple company and their products. I talked to a Forever Mac user who attended all the past Boston Macworlds and he was very dissapointed , he said this was a "one day show" and we talked about all the past Macworlds he has been to. He told me that he also had high expectations , bacause some of the previous Boston Macworlds took three days just to walk around and see all the booths. I talked to him on wednesday and it seems he will not be coming back to day. On the upside, IDG World Expc , the people in charge of Macworld Boston are promising a much bigger show then today. So maybe Macwold at Boston can return to its former glory.

Part 3 (Final Day)
We were able to talk to a lot of vendors and will have some exiting new reviews coming in shortly. Now you guys have to understand that we got a lot of products in this trip so the site will be moving a little faster than usual cause me and Adam will constantly be posting reviews on different items. As for the trip we got about 8 hours of sleep in 80 hours total so we are both passing out on our feet but we will carry on to bring you these reviews.

Good Night and make sure you don’t miss out on the fun next year if you weren’t there this time around.
