Greetings all from the Geek Labs

Some good geek news.

LOS ANGELES - The Walt Disney Co. has added a personal computer and flat screen monitor to its lineup of consumer electronics products.

It even comes with a mouse.

The computer, which also comes with games, a digital pen and a drive that plays both CDs and DVDs, joins a television, DVD player, clock radio, cordless phone and other products the company has introduced over the past two years.

The computer will retail for $599 with the monitor sold separately for $299.

The "Disney Dream Desk PC" was unveiled Thursday in New York.

The computer was designed by frog design and will be made by Germany's Medion AG, a large private label maker of personal computers.

The Windows PC comes with ContentProtect, an e-mail and Internet filtering system. It also comes with proprietary programs that allows users to combine their own video clips with Disney characters and sound effects and create drawings using a built-in digital pen.

Disney announced it will also be introducing a digital camera and camcorder later this year.

Now what they need to do is put one of these in all their rooms with high-speed internet so that guests can have their daily dose of WDWMagic while at WDW. Imagine how easy it would be to do trip reports.

AND YES...I KNOW that this will never happen. But a girl can dream, can't she?

If I were a travel agent, I would have this set-up for walk-in's and appointments for those wanting a Disney vacation or cruise. Awesome selling tool. Also maybe have one so the kids that tag along can browse Disney sites while mom and/or dad finalizes the details.

Disney-branded (there's that word again...) computers..... :snore:

Marketing tool, IMHO, nothing more.

Oh man, high-speed access in each room? Waaaaay too much investment needed for infrastructure for that to happen. But it would be awesome to have. :)
