Call me a pessimist – low hopes for Macworld 2010

I am absolutely for all things Mac. Aside from the fact that I have single-handedly boosted Apple’s sales by at least 10% every year since 2003 starting with the purchase of my first portable, a beloved 12″ PowerBook, I happily attend Apple-related events simply for the thrill of it. I waited in line for the grand opening of the flagship San Francisco, which happened to take place on my birthday. I’ve attended 3 MacWorld Expos (including keynotes at 2 of these). I waited in line for both the first-generation and 3G iPhones. I can’t believe I’m going to admit this in public, but I collect Apple stickers and also have a reasonable stash of shirts building. And, yes, I am made fun of by all of my non-Apple-fan friends and family. Daily.
