Imagine taking your PC to your friend's house, and all your other friends bringing theirs too, and playing loads of games together. Now imagine instead of your friend's house it was a huge building, and loads of other people and their friends came along as well. Now imagine that building has a 1 gigabit Internet connection. Now imagine that instead of going home at the end of the day you stay there for five days, and sleep in tents near the building (assuming you care about sleep). Now imagine the building has on-site catering and a bar and you can order food and drinks directly to your desk.
Now imagine there's loads of other things going on as well - hardware and software companies with stalls nearby where you can test and buy the newest computer gear and games. Announcements, demonstrations and beta tests of brand new games. Loads of competitions going on where you can win computer gear, silly stuff or even cash prizes. Loads of free stuff being handed out all over the place. A pub quiz. Old console games on a massive projector screen that 20 people can play at once. A giant energy drink can that doubles as a rodeo ride(!?). Five days with your friends where you don't care about work, school, what time it is or anything other than having fun.
That's iSeries.
