<p>FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE -- 12/31/01</p>
<p>HESS MACWORLD EVENTS PAGEs ARE READY</p>
<p>Boston, MA. 7/5/01 - Macworld Expo New York is next week and The Hess<br />
Memorial Macworld Events and Party Page is ready for you. Now in its sixth<br />
year (12th show), the Hess MacWorld Events list is *the only* source for<br />
every event and press function held during MacWorld Expo week in San<br />
Francisco, Jan. 7th through Jan. 13th. At least half of the show attendees<br />
will see this list, so be sure to consider supporting the pages as detailed<br />
below.</p>
<p>All companies, user groups, and web sites are requested to send their<br />
announcements before Friday, Jan. 5th. Please email any scheduled events,<br />
press conferences, or product information to <a href="mailto:press@ilenesmachine.com">press@ilenesmachine.com</a>.</p>
<p>Companies are encouraged to post a free product announcement or contest on<br />
the "Fun Stuff to See at the Show" page. Please send a 2-line description<br />
and booth number so that users can get a head start on the best booths to<br />
visit.</p>
<p>Look for the listings at:<br />

for Ilene's Machine notices</p>
<p>Don't forget to tell your staff about the Hess Events List also, so they<br />
can take advantage of all the fun things at the show when on break.</p>
<p>These pages are made possible by my dancing fingers and your generous<br />
banner ad support. A couple of banner spots are available, so please grab<br />
them today. Call for more information. Companies not attending the show<br />
would do well to advertise their upcoming Mac OS X products in banners on<br />
the page. This is the *only* web site with pass-along readership!</p>
<p>Sponsors are also sought for The Party Formerly Known As... (formerly the<br />
Mac The Knife Party). This exclusive high profile event is on every CEO and<br />
Mac network manager's itinerary, not to mention all the Macintosh press<br />
you'd ever want to meet (or listen to at this party)! Sponsors can donate<br />
product or funds. For the first time this event is open to the show-going<br />
public for a small cover charge. The Macintosh All-Star Band, composed of<br />
your favorite Mac press, is the entertainment.</p>
<p>Special thanks go out to Bare Bones Software, Stone Design, MacTank,<br />
ScanSoft, and Kagi for supporting the party list activities. Please support<br />
these vendors.</p>
<p>Background<br />
The author, Macintosh/Internet Consultant and Writer, Ilene Hoffman, took<br />
over this events list when the original author, Robert Hess, passed away in<br />
1996. It is a memorial and tribute to his hard work in the Macintosh<br />
community. The former Knife party was adopted when it was abandoned by its<br />
publisher in 2000. Both services are delivered free to users and supported<br />
by different companies each year. Special thanks to Bare Bones Software who<br />
has supported these efforts for the longest time.</p>
