OK I made up the Disney part, but you can read the TRUTH at the link
below.

Personally, I believe it more from Disney than from the Govt. Acronyms.
I was working at JPL in the early 90s when an RFP came in from one of
the US military organizations. They wanted help defining/describing
an immersive training environment. As we were reading the RFP we
all said in unison "they want a holodeck..." (Just remember, JPL was
a 30 min drive from Paramount Studios, and some of the JPL folk were
"consultants" on Trek. And various incarnations of Trek filmed at
JPL facilities). Of course when Disney (or ILM) wants to do anything,
they just need budget approval from the board or else a signed check
from a customer. When JPL wants to do anything, it's a trip to
Congress.

So who do you think is going to build a working holodeck first?

Heard something earlier this week, that Steve Jobs will become the
single largest shareholder of Disney.

In a similar vein...I remember a great comment in a book from a number
of years ago mentioning the "Military-Industrial-Entertainment Complex".
Seems like it's getting closer and closer.


You just won the Super Bowl, where you going next?

I'm going to Boot Camp!
