Comdex
Comdex sucked.
There, we said it. It’s not like this is news, either. What is news, however, is why it sucked: the show was even emptier than last year. Gone are the days when you could crane your neck down the aisles and see banners advertising the crème de la crème of the technology industry: Microsoft, IBM, Fujitsu, Toshiba, Dell, and others. This year, it was Microsoft, and… Microsoft. The MS booth even had a Dell booth inside it, like it hcad been, well, assimilated.
