Disney gives new meaning to computer `mouse' (http://www.siliconvalley.com/mld/siliconvalley/business/columnists/gmsv/9770731.htm) -- Mercury News, 2004-09-27
Disney isn't a corporation, I've learned as the father of a 4-year-old girl, it's a way of life. Children watch Disney movies on video, dress up as Disney characters for Halloween, ride Disney-themed bicycles and play Disney video games.
So it's only appropriate that Disney is now stamping its powerful name on a personal computer: the new Disney Dream Desk PC, which runs Windows and sells for $899 in tandem with a Mickey-Mouse-eared flat-panel display.
The bright blue Dream Desk is a surprisingly good product, full of small but important innovations that make the computer very friendly for its target audience of children ages 5 to 12.
