>> Hi, I'm Molly Wood here at CES 2009. There's less than 40 hours to go before the show floor opens. So this is crunch time in terms of unpacking everything, get everything cleaned, you got vacuum cleaners going, you got boxes everywhere, forklifts. Our stage here is just starting to come together, it's gonna look really good, and we'd thought we take a little tour of the show floor to show you what it looks like before it's all flash and lights. I got my badge, ready to go. ^M00:00:36 [ Music ] ^M00:00:41 [ Background Music ]
>> So we're in the south hall which you can see is pretty much filled with these crazy looking wooden crates. They all look like something out of the mummy. So I'm kinda hoping that they read the hieroglyphics carefully because I don't want something coming out of there and killing us all. Alright let's walk around. ^M00:00:54 [ Music ] ^M00:01:06 [ Background Music ]
>> So like this booth is looking pretty good but I can't figure out what it's gonna be, like what's up with this motorcycle here. Check out those cages over there they look like kennels, maybe there's gonna be animals this year. ^M00:01:16 [ Music ] ^M00:01:31 [ Background Music ]
>> As you can see, not a lot of room to maneuver and a lot to get done before this mess turns into the CES we know and love. For CNET.com, I'm Molly Wood and I'll be here all week.
