Comdex was a bust. That's the common wisdom about last week's technology trade show in Las Vegas.
Superficially, that was true. Only 50,000 people attended the debacle in the desert, significantly fewer than the usual 180,000 to 200,000. There were far fewer exhibitors, with all of Comdex crowded into one exhibit hall instead of sprawling over three or four -- and then out into sundry hotel suites. Taxi drivers and porn purveyors looked pitifully unhappy.
Now I know why some are disgruntled.
