It's not dead. It's resting

Network World Fusion 06/24/04

News that Comdex has been cancelled this year but might return reminds one of an old Monty Python sketch:

Customer: I'll tell you what's wrong with it. It's dead, that's what's wrong with it.

Shopkeeper: No, no it's resting, look!

Customer: Look my lad, I know a dead trade show when I see one and I'm looking at one right now.

Shopkeeper: No, no sir, it's not dead. It's resting.

Customer: Resting?

Shopkeeper: Yeah, remarkable show, Comdex, beautiful plumage, innit?

Anyway, what do you think? Will you miss Comdex, or had you already adapted to life without trade shows? Is the Internet the great trade-show killer? We've set up a forum on the Comdex cancellation - let us know what you think.
