O'Reilly Happenings at Macworld SF
by Derrick Story12/20/2005
O'Reilly Media has a full slate of in-booth tech talks and plenty of Mac and digital media titles to browse. Plus we have goodies, too! If you buy two or more titles at the booth, you get your choice of a canvas book bag or an O'Reilly T-shirt (while supplies last). And even if you're not in a buying mood, you can enter a drawing with the opportunity to win a 30GB iPod Fifth Generation (video model).
