Travel time I like to fly. I'm not really afraid of airplanes, and other than the fact that I hate Logan airport with a passion, I don't really have any reasons to avoid air travel. So, when I decided to take a train to New York, I was a bit out of my element.
Train travel is slower than all get-out.
For those of you who don't know, PC Expo is yet another trade show devoted to computing products and services. Hosted in New York City, PC Expo draws pretty much all of the big names, and things were looking very interesting this year, partially on account of the presence of the Linux Pavilion and several Windows 2000 seminars. I was also looking forward to snagging a look at Be's booth, and a few other surprises, including a rendezvous with the Maximum PC crowd. When I first arrived at the Javits Convention Center early on Monday morning, the place was pretty desolate. It was the quietest I would ever see the place.
