Hi Charles,

Below is a brief summary of Keyspan news for MacWorld Expo.

Keyspan will be at booth #860 in Javits.

HONEY, THEY SHRUNK THE HUB!
The Keyspan MINI USB HUB announced at PC Expo will be on display and will ship later this month. With the footprint of a credit card and just 1 cm thick, it sports four full-spec USB ports and comes with an equally tiny adapter for self- or bus-powered devices. Silver or Black; just $49. A road warrior essential for every Mac!

MAC OS X SERIAL-to-USB drivers
Keyspan continues its open beta test of its Mac OS X drivers for its popular serial to USB adapters. You and your readers can download the drivers from: http://www.keyspan.com/support/macosx/

DIGITAL MEDIA REMOTE DRIVERS FOR MAC OS X Keyspan also has released new Mac OS X drivers for its popular Digital Media Remote. They can also be found at

CHANNEL NEWS

And finally some Channel News. The June issue of PC Data once again ranks Keyspan as the best selling brand of USB connectivity products in the U.S.

HOW SMALL IS THE MINI HUB?

Visit Keyspan's booth during MWE and check it out for yourself and say hi to Mike, Jose and Kev. Editors (who haven't already done so) wishing JPGs, product brochures or evals, please e-mail me or call.

Have a great MWE!

"Forget The Rumors And Just Relax"

In "Our Friendly Neighborhood Expo" on Applelust, Dean Browell advises:

"Forget the rumors and just relax. We all prepare for the Expo differently, and Dean does it by securing his train ticket and nabbing an analogy. More to come after this, Dean's Pre-MacWorld New York 2001 care package."
