Default FAO Angrynorth..

..I've been invited to the Apple Expo in Paris (September) and we are having a private VIP meeting with Mr Jobs..

Question is should I take my bulky but beloved 30GB Zen or convert to the fluffy side and get an Ipod for the occasion LOL ???

Anything you want me to pass on ??

I am very jealous. I would love to go to the expo let alone meet Stevo himself!

Ask him if he needs a graphic designer / motion graphics guy

Lucky sod!

Cool, well whatever you are going for, good luck with it. Can't be easy meeting people like that.

Well, there's going to be a few of us so hopefully it'll be a bubbly positive meeting.. rather than the usual diss-the-enemy event

I'm sure it will be cool. I'll bet you get loads of free stuff I hope you can steer him clear of an X86 OSX (I know its unlikely but there are some worried people). But at the same time push for more cross platform integration.

Also get a flipping video iPod made. Despite what he says everyone is screaming out for the ability to "watch tv on a screen the size of a teabag" as he puts it

Take the Zen. It'll help Steve to understand that not everyone has good taste

True, true. I'm pretty sure I saw him cruising the valley in a lightly modded Civic. It was all white with blue lights and a few clear bits.

Ask him to sort out stock. I've had nothing to sell for the last week apart form the old dual boot G4s which I find hard to advise anyone to buy as its all old hat now and not 64bit.

If any of you Mac guys want posters and stuff let me know as we tend to chuck them out as we have too many.

Maybe we should have a Scoobynet day at the MacWarehouse Apple showroom !!
