Can't you just smell it? Macworld Expo is here. Lots of workshops and town meetings and the like will be held on Tuesday, but for our money, the show doesn't really start until Steve Jobs takes the stage to deliver his keynote address on Wednesday morning-- an event that we can now count down in hours without exhausting all the fingers and toes of the AtAT staff. Yes, we're excited. Yes, we're pumped. Yes, we're more than a little scared of being frightfully let down after all the hype that's been built up. Still, our bags are packed, our batteries are charged, and we're ready to hit the road.
We have a feeling that even Steve won't fully know what Steve's going to say until scant minutes before he actually walks out on stage on Wednesday, but there's no end of speculation. For those keeping score, we like Mac the Knife's overview of the likeliest announcements-- it's short, sweet, and to the point. (Get it? Knife? Point? Please don't hit us.) Here's the quick rundown: P1. MyApple.com. Outlook Express 5. Oracle support. Palm. Swatch. And maybe even a new iMac.
So that's what may or may not be in store for us all, and the only sure thing is that there are no sure things until the info travels from Steve's mouth to our eager awaiting ears. Now if you'll excuse us, we're off to the Big Apple (in more ways than one). Tune in all week for AtAT's Adventures in New York, which we're sure will rate somewhere on the entertainment scale between the Bradys' visit to Hawaii and the Saved By The Bell outing to Las Vegas. In tomorrow's episode: the AtAT Guide to Collecting Expo Swag. Don't miss it!

 | | The above scene was taken from the 7/19/99 episode: July 19, 1999: Apple may be burying the E-Power in litigation, but Sotec steps up to the plate with their own iMac rip-off. Meanwhile, Mac gamers rejoice at the release of Mac drivers that work with cheap PC gaming cards, and the keynote is scant hours away, as Steve Jobs puts the final touches on his long-awaited address...
Other scenes from that episode: 1669: 2nd-Gen Photocopy (7/19/99) The fun never stops with the Fun Factory™. It's only been a few weeks since a brash young upstart called Future Power unveiled their latest innovation: an all-in-one Wintel box called the "E-Power" that, shall we say, "somewhat resembles" Apple's own iMac... 1670: That Voodoo That You Do (7/19/99) It was a good day for the hardcore Mac gamers out there. See, while Apple's done a lot in the past year to encourage the development of more games for the Mac platform, the hardware side of the equation hasn't been adding up...
