I assume you mean Infoseek when you mentioned "seek"... and of course, I certainly know about it. The alliance and subsequent unleashing of the Go.com site helped SEEK travel to near 60 before its recent pull back to the mid-40s. Considering DIS has such a vested interest in SEEK, I dont see where Apple distinguishes itself from an alliance with one without the other. AAPL should hook up with the DIS/SEEK team and get its product legitimized and moving again. With things like the iMac, I think the potential is there.

Apple, snapple. The real connection will be the Internet/Cable-TV for the masses! Why buy an expensive computer when you can surf, interact, watch TV, trade stocks, watch the game (and see the scores of all other games) all at the same time for $250. SEEK is Internet. Disney is fun and games. The market will eventually be for those who do not want to know anything about using a computer but can connect to the Internet. I do not see where the fit (alliance) is for Apple, unless you already own one and have to find a use for it. The Internet is ubiquitous and available to all (well, most) hardware users -- as it should be. Teaming up with a specific platform will limit the availability and thus limit the earnings and profitability of DIS and SEEK.
