I chuckled at a "Bugs Life". Somehow, I feel people will accept Walt Disney faster than Apple. It's like having strong support on your flanks.

Just a thought:

I keep hearing this, Ed, but it seems to me that a joint venture with Apple may well do more to boost Disney's image

I read somewhere that the music industry is bigger than the film industry.

I believe that MPG3s are going to change everything in the music industry.

Disney's image at this point than the other way around. Sheesh, Steve's already given Disney "A
Bug's Life," what more does the guy have to do for Mickey, anyway?

Excellent point, Mark! If Disney can boost their image by forming an internet alliance with Apple, then the matter of increased profits is secondary. Walt believed in investing in mindshare. If the current management team still understands and follows his strategy, they will be likely to exploit this opportunity.
