Having purchased my Powerbook two years ago this February, last year&#8217;s MacWorld Expo Keynote was the first I watched, and I watched part of it live (I lost track of time at work, and tuned in late).  As a fan of Apple&#8217;s products, it was exciting.  Steve Jobs is certainly a showman.  By the end of the presentation, I&#8217;d <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/CoolStuff\/garageband.html\">blogged<\/a> about Apple&#8217;s new goodies <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/CoolStuff\/minime.html\">twice<\/a>, and the next day I <a href=\"http:\/\/jclark.org\/weblog\/Music\/withtheband.html\">ordered<\/a> GarageBand and the first Jam Pack on the Apple store.<\/p>\n<p>I&#8217;ve been looking forward to this Keynote ever since.  I&#8217;m sure if I watched it live, I&#8217;d end up blogging about it during the show.  By the time I see the recording tommorow (which will be 9pm EST), all of the news will be old.  What a shame.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the International Olympic Committee considers adding the sports of &#8220;Spreading Apple Rumors&#8221; and &#8220;Suing Apple Rumorsites&#8221; to the official list, one of the rumors to come out of last week appears (sadly) to be true: On Tuesday morning at 9:00 AM Pacific Time, Apple Computer Inc.
