NY v. Boston (Score 1)

Since I read the original NY Post article, I have a hrd time seeing Macworld leave New York. A) the new Boston facility won't be open until 2004, so its not like it won't be Macworld 2003 or 2004 for that matter. B) New York officials have said they have no intention of losing Macworld, as has the Javits Center. C) This kind of scuttlebut is common in New York, as these people constantly want some sort of concession from the city. Even the New York Stock Exchange threatens to leave the city. D) Steve Jobs moved it to New York for a reason. If you notice, the move to New York was when Jobs returned as CEO of Apple. (I know IDG handles the affair, but it really is an Apple event, what Apple wants, it gets.) While I will avoid the whole Boston v. New York can of worms, I will say that if Macworld moves back to Boston, it will probably not help Apple reach a larger audience, just by their respective populations.
