Weflew out intending to have 3 reports from Comdex, but as it turned out, this year's attendance, by consumers and manufacturers alike, left quite a bit to be desired. We haven't been to too many ghost towns, but after day 3 here in Sin City, the convention center surely qualified; the frantic pace and sardine-crammed hallways of yesteryear might as well have been on a different planet.
