Help
I just wanted to ask the guys from Aussie MacWorld would there be any chance you guys would organise an Expo like the one in the USA? Maybe on smaller scale? I'm sure most of the guys on the forums would go, and I know just the few people here wouldn't be enough but i"m sure we could all help spread the word! What does everyone think?

You could count me in Jamie, I am not sure how costly it is to hold, but It would be great to attend if it's possible.

It's something the AMW team would like to do!
There have been discussions in the past with some of the distributors and resellers, and many of our international partners would make the journey.
Fingers crossed we can all pull something together!

Hey liana. That would be so awesome if you guys get something going. Where do you think you guys would hold it Sydney or Melbourne? Or some where else?

Perth!

I too would vote for Perth.
Maybe it should be Alice Springs. You know, keep it central.

You might not know it to look at me, but I'm pretty radical.

Hmmm, there's a thought. Maybe they could send all the WA forum members a free bottle of red to make up for not holding it here

What about Magnetic Island? It's further north and the weather is great. It's also bigger.
