Posted by banane on January 11th, 2007 — in technology

It’s not even over, though it’s over for me! Just don’t have the stamina anymore- and I’m so new to owning a Mac (2 months, now). These are random notes I wrote while walking around the exhibit floors yesterday.

Posted by banane on January 9th, 2007 — in nostalgia, technology

I printed out my MacWorld registration yesterday at work and had a few flash memories. Swapping stories with the creators of Myst, before the exhibit floor woke up.
