Phil Roy runs the most excellent NZMac.com website, and was one of the presenters at the Digital eXpo. Today he’s published an opinion piece titled Where were you Renaissance?! which bemoans Apple NZ’s failure to support or even appear at the inaugural eXpo.
Well I’ve just got back from the eXpo Conference for Macintosh Computer Users in Auckland and on the flight back to Palmerston North, two simple thoughts ran through my head…
- Good on you Peter Mellow!!
- Where the heck were you Renaissance?
Renaissance, aka Apple NZ, were conspicuous by their absence from the eXpo, while Microsoft NZ, Macguide magazine, Cognito (Moneyworks), SubRosaSoft and many others were present all day.
Update 15 October: the URL to Phil’s site keeps causing validation problems and is behaving weirdly. I’ve reduced it to a link to the main page on the site. Sorry.
