Macworld Expo ramblings (SF 99) III

Not too much more to add to the previous days' coverage.

Starship Titanic Douglas Adams was at the Macworld Live booth. He was giving away beta copies of Starship Titanic. The only problem with the beta was that it had a "memory leak" late in the game. Once that is fixed, the game will finally hit the shelves. Douglas promised this would be in a few weeks at most.

Disk repair utilities are a frequent topic here at MacFixIt. So naturally, I scouted for their presence at the Expo. MicroMat (TechTool Pro) and Alsoft (DiskWarrior) both had prominent booths. Symantec (Norton Utilities) had a stand in the Consumer Showcase section; you would not likely find it unless you were looking for it. Total Recall (MacMedic) was listed as having a booth, and was briefly sighted on the first day; they then mysteriously disappeared.

I gave my Macworld Users Conference Session yesterday. Thanks to all who attended. And a special thanks to Steve Bobker for going the extra mile (literally) to make it to the session. The PowerPoint slideshow used at the session is now available.

Linux PPC was showing their Mac version of Linux.
