At one time it was rumored that all Macs were ordered out to be replaced by NT systems. Obviously that turned out not to be true, and we can only hope that the turn around at Apple has reinvigorated Mac support at the company. Of course, there were also the rumors that Disney was going to buy Apple, so you never know about rumors, do you? :-) In any event, good luck getting that job! Disney is nothing but a great company to work for! Walt Disney
