TOP TEN FORGOTTEN COMPUTER INDUSTRY TRADE SHOWS
The CNET offices are nearly empty this week, since most
of our editors are at one trade show or another: PC Expo in
New York, Web Innovation in San Jose, or E3 in Atlanta. It
bugs us when all these conventions run together, because we
have to miss the other shows that are also on this week:
10. Software Companies Bought Out By Microsoft Expo
9. VCR Programmers Convention (keynote speech is at 12:00)
8. ConvenCon, the convention for conventioneers
7. SAW (Stupid Acronym World)
6. The URL Swap Meet
5. How To Make Money On The Internet! seminar series (cost
of admission: $5,000)
4. Mouse World
3. Quasimodo Con (formerly known as the Overfeatured
Portable-Computer Producers Convention)
2. ZealotWorld (hosted by IBM's OS/2 division; sponsored
by Apple)
1. Web Standards Expo (postponed; show committee can't
agree on a location)
