Disney Enters PC Market

Zebbers writes "Disney announced today from NYC that they are entering the personal computer market. With a childish design, built in content control and other kid-friendly features, it could be a breakthrough or just another specialized device flop. Do children really need their own specialized computer?" johnpaul191 points out that frogdesign designed the box, and writes "It looks sort of like a squared-off eMac (but blue), and has a flat mouse-shaped front (the ears are speakers!). It uses a a pen for on-screen input, as well as a keyboard and mouse."

    Yet another Mickey Mouse computer design.

    while childish is lexigraphically correct, it may have a negative connotation attached to it, connotating immaturity and puerility I humbly suggest 'child-friendly' be used instead of 'childish' to describe an user interface that kids will understand.
