to present a Macworld event in Boston that will provide valuable education
and networking opportunities for Mac enthusiasts."
Korse continued, "While there was some uncertainty about the event coming
to Boston after the successful launch of Macworld CreativePro in New York
this summer, we have decided to continue the Macworld tradition on the East
Coast as originally planned. We look forward to the Macintosh community
gathering in Boston."
