CeBIT observations
Here's some observations from CeBIT:
* Visitor numbers seem to be up on last year but many of the halls are deathly quiet off the main track through.
* Cheap / free entrance tickets have flooded the local market ... lots of consumers on the show floors. Fine, but is CeBIT a business show or a consumer showcase?
* Some people will "collect" just about anything - the legendary freebie hunters. Put dog turds in plastic bags and people'll pick 'em up.
* Only one bidder on my daft auction so far (thanks Gerry).
* Classic CeBIT weather is back - snowy wind, rain showers. Yeuch.
