===1987=== The 1987 Boston Macworld Expo was held on August 11β13. The most significant product introduction at the show was [[Bill Atkinson]]'s [[HyperCard]]. More than 3,000 copies of the software were handed out. [[MultiFinder]], [[Apple File Exchange]], the [[ImageWriter LQ]], [[EtherTalk]], [[AppleShare PC]] and the AppleFax Modem were among Apple's product announcements. Promoters estimated 40,000 people attended the show. [[MacUser]]'s review of the show concluded positively, saying that it was "revealing, exhilarating, and disappointing. While the Mac is clearly becoming the business machine of choice through much of corporate America, the show didn't have the sterile atmosphere that pure business trade shows have. Most of the time it was plain outright exciting. And the promise of the future that was always in the air was wholly positive."<ref>{{cite web | url = https://archive.org/stream/MacUser8711November1987/MacUser_8711_November_1987#page/n173/mode/2up | title = The Spirit of Boston '87 | magazine = MacUser | date = November 1987 | first = Steven | last = Bobker }}</ref>
