Over the years it has become apparent to anyone who has spent time around Eisner that his great desire before stepping down is to leave behind a Michael Eisner "legacy." He refuses to be remembered as just the guy who guided the Walt Disney Company through some rough times. He is desperate to...

Way OT: Panther Tink: Despite reading the same worrisome stories as you, I might mention that we have six Macs happily purring along under Panther (10.3.1) here at home. All have various FireWire (both 400 and 800) devices attached and thus far we haven't had a single problem with any of them...

OT: PoC DVD For those interested in such things, be aware that this release is not particularly Macintosh friendly. To access the "enhanced computer features" one must be able to utilize a special ActiveX object which is currently only compatible with the InterActual Player 2.0 for Windows...

The upside: -- it's only $18.99 @ Best Buy; $19.99 @ Target -- it sports a decent transfer and 5.1 remix -- MGM actually issued the darn thing The downside: -- it's still the same disappointing, marginal mess -- most of the songs are still awful -- the supplements are as weak as the feature...

A not uncommon view. However, as somewhat of an audiophile with tens of thousands of dollars invested in high-end amps, speakers and components as well as over twenty-five years experience as an audio professional, I must say that I've been delighted with the quality of nearly every track I've...

OT: Disney on iTunes Music Store? While hardly comprehensive, here are a few price comparisons (can't imagine why people still shop at Tower for the average compact disc): Firehouse Five Plus Two "At Disneyland" $12.98 barnesandnoble.com (plus S&H) $18.98 Tower Records (in store price) $15.98...

Bill: I'm sorry, I guess I missed your query. Yes, I was able to just make the show on time. It was worth the mad rush to get there. (Thanks to narkspud for providing the panel information.) The print of VTAP looked great so the upcoming DVD should be a treat. 1313

Pro Tools is a great application, There, now you can say you've read it somewhere. ;-) "Better"? It's not even close. Cool Edit and the like are fine for hobbists but for professional (and semi-professional, for that matter) editing and content creation Pro Tools' feature set places it at...

By the way, Pro Tools also runs on PCs. 1313

Pro Tools (more info: http://www.digidesign.com/) generally running on a Macintosh. Randy Thornton uses PCs. 1313

The academy. Animation film historian Jerry Beck will introduce the "last theatrical showing" of VTAP tonight during a show which also features 35mm studio vault prints of several war themed animated short subjects including BLITZ WOLF (MGM, Oscar Nominee 1942), RUSSIAN RHAPSODY (Warner Bros...

Thought I'd point out to those who living in the Los Angleles area that a recently restored print of "Victory Through Air Power" will be screened tonight at 8:00 PM in the Samuel Goldwyn Theater on Wilshire Boulevard. Tickets are $5.00. For directions and more information call (310) 247-3600...

Disneyland's new CD-on-demand system FYI: The system hasn't been functioning at all for the past two days and barely works on those rare occasions when the clerks can manage to keep the thing limping along for an hour or two. The store employees are uninformed and almost certainly not to blame...

This one (ugh) perhaps?: http://disneyland.disney.go.com/dlr/genPag...ionholidayabout Personally, I can't wait for January 4th and removal of the hideous, carnivalesque Garner Holt "Holiday" overlay. 1313

I haven't checked in on that project lately. Perhaps you simply know more about current plans for it than I? It certainly wouldn't surprise me to discover that was the case. 1313

The RedDotNet era kiosk machines were sold off long ago... Everything intended for the new system has been remastered from the best existing source material. Much as been remixed, as well. Nothing came "off the shelf." If all goes as expected, nearly one hundred currently unavailable titles...

Attraction audio will not be available on the new CDR delivery system. The sole purpose of the enterprise is to offer re-mastered editions of titles originally issued on vinyl. These include the Haunted Mansion Storyteller LP as well as dozens of other park-related albums. The hope was to...

The new system will not be in place until late in October or early in November. Those who have expressed interest in the Golden Horsehoe Revue LP will be happy to discover that for $15 one will be able to purchase a remaster of that particular older title. Last time I checked, the re-issue...

Personally, I'd never refer to those astonishingly bad, muddy-sounding remixes (which effectively render the formerly boisterous "sing-along-with-us-now!" chorus vocals of The Tiki Tiki Tiki Room and Let's All Sing Like The Birdies Sing to whispered "what-the-heck-happened?" status, to name but...
