Comdex Cancelled.. again


Comdex Cancelled Again - Yahoo! News

Comdex 2005 was cancelled despite the efforts of its owner MediaLive International Inc. to take the conference out of limbo. The tradeshow, which is traditionally held in Las Vegas, Nev., in November, was cancelled last year for the first time after 25 years.

In a statement, MediaLive said it had been working “diligently to determine how Comdex can best meet the future needs of the industry.”

Dude, what the hell? I really wanted to go this year since last year was a bust. (no punn intended on that - seeing as it was held at the same time as the AVN conference) ;) But seriously. I’ve only been there once, and that was right out of highschool. Hell, the year i was there Microsft was launching it’s billion$ .NET services.

I remember sitting in on a few of the walkthrough’s and tutorials. wow, the thought of an all inclusive system that remembers who you were and a new programming platform was so unreal at the time. Hell, 6 years later now I’m building my own, it’s kind of crazy. I also remember that was one of the first years LCD Flatpannel monitors were getting popular. Haha, $2,500 for a 15″ LCD… ahh the good ‘ole days.
