Tech Expo… Day 2 again

Corey and attendee

You also might meet up with fellow Photoshoppers, like Brandon from Barbados who I met across from the Wacom booth.

At the Tech Expo, you might be one of the first to hear the exclusive on a new release. For example, YouSendIt announced SiteDrop which can be embedded on your website to receive large files. They also have a free plug-in for Mac/PC which lets you easily export files right to your YouSendIt account.

send.jpgAnd Western Digital has a great new My Book. It’s dual-drive, with RAID, formatted for Max, and has a storage capacity of 2 TB. Lots of people search the Tech Expo floor for solutions to their photography or graphic design needs.

Also on the Tech Expo floor, you might have chance to meet an instructor, like this dude here who ran into Corey and I and let me grab a picture of the two of them.
