Those who know me well know that I am a
Macintosh user and supporter. I've been
using Macintosh computers since 1993 and, like most Mac users, fail
to understand why anyone would consciously choose an IBM-compatible
or Wintel PC. So, it was with great enthusiasm that I awaited the
arrival of Macworld Expo at the Jacob Javits Center in New York in
July 1998. I had also invited a longtime online friend and fellow Mac
fanatic, Rick O'Leary, from Wauwatosa, WI, to join me and so he did.
Rick and I spent Wednesday, July 8, at the Javits Center and I
returned to the show with my wife, Carole, on Friday, July 10. It was
a wonderful world of the new Apple computer, the iMac. The basic
theme that was posted everywhere:
"I think, therefore
iMac."
What follows are a series of photos taken at the show on
the two days I was there. The Javits Center itself is quite a
spectacular site and it was particularly appealing with the myriad of
Apple promotional signs, especially those advertising the new iMac
which was released for sale in August 1998.
