I was there
I remember the Bondi Blue iMac being put on display in a roped-off area so you could see it and not touch it.
I shared my room with a teacher from a school (Apple Australia asked if I wouldn’t mind sharing) who was worried about dropping the 3.5” drive. Well, he pulled this trick of asking me to settle the hotel bill and he’d fix me up later. He did not before we left, and after six months of emails, I gave up. I hope he is ashamed if he is reading this!
In 2000 Apple paid for the room and I had it to myself, whereas others shared because Apple was paying.
