In the old days this was the funnest week of the year, as you got to talk with everyone and you learned a lot from the random discussions. I went two years ago and everyone sat&amp;#x2F;stood in long lines using various devices and no one talked anymore. I think watching the videos is enough now.&lt;p&gt;That first one BTW had 300 people representing virtually all the Mac developers in the entire world, meeting in a single ballroom at the Fairmont. Nowadays you have 5500 people that barely fit into Moscone West.</text></comment>
