Macworld Show Floor Is Packed on Opening Day

Woah, Macworld is Packed!

Much to my surprise and delight, the crowds are showing up in droves for Macworld. Though the gates opened just 30 minutes ago, the show floor is already crowded with attendees.

“It’s a zoo up there,” said one paserby who queued up to get an entrance badge.

True, the show is restricted to the Moscone Center’s smaller North Hall (instead of both South and North halls), and it’s not as jammed as some previous opening days, but it’s still a very healthy crowd.

To be honest, I’ve always hated the Macworld show floor. The throngs get old really quick, with people shuffling along in a Magadon dream, bumping you with rucksacks full of crap, or interrupting a briefing with dumb questions.

But still, I’d be sorry to see it go. So best of luck to Paul Kent and co. Long live Macworld!
