I just was there on Thurday night, it was great, and there was no space to park the car... the place was packed and couldn't walk around freely.

The provided products were great, I like the new D-Link modems, especially the wireless ones that can be used at home, the WI-FI technology.

I like both the new IBM PCs and the Apple Mac PCs as well. It was unbelieveable rates, and good deals. Its over I guess by today Friday 29 April, 2005.

Didnt go, but one of my friends did and I saw some of the brochures; he got from there. Most of the offers were a scam. Some had reasonsable prices, but with low hardware configurations. Others high price again with low hardware configurations. The usual schema of every year. Though there few OK ones.

Overall, just the usual same from everywhere. Perhaps this whole schema of price manipulation is cause the rental of every spot is too high. So, the shops increase their prices. While if you go to the shop itself before or after the exibition you would get it in a cheaper price.

Yeh, I totally agree with that DeSerTDesTroYeR. Actually the prices of computers keeps on droping down since the configurations keeps on changing!
