The atmosphere around the New Mac Road Show (what a name) was one of excitement and wonder. PowerBooks, eMates, Power Macintosh systems, QuickTake 200 digital cameras, scanners and printers all available to touch and feel.

But Dark Forces were overlooking the show from an overhanging balcony. To the right, the Head Bad Guy, dressed in an elegant formal black, attempted to be inconspicuous, peering out through a storefront. A flunky (below) seemed a bit more aggressive, but the large crowds apparently intimidated both of them.

The moral: enjoy yourself, but be on alert against the forces of repression and regimentation.
