Thinking about WWDC06? Think again

[juno]

Maybe I have been kept out of the know on this one and am going to look an idiot posting this, but I don't really care:

For one a person a ticket to WWDC costs: $1,595

That seems like quite a bit of cash to me. If I wanted to, I could get a top quality pro DSLR for that much, or a very nice, top of the line lens. Maybe even a Macbook to go along with my Macbook Pro? Who knows.

Could someone please inform me why this costs so effing much?

Because it's for developers, not for the ordinary apple-geek. You pay for what you get.

You have to figure, you might make some of that back with free Merch' and publicity.

Also, you get to hob-nob with the likes of Steve Jobs and Woz(if he's there). That's worth it to me.

if you can buy a mac

you can buy a ticket to go to wwcd

Ave said it all.

WWDC = developers, not geeks

I'd pay for it, if I had a job.
