Not that absurd. I mean, until his "riding to the rescue" of Apple, he was busy turning Pixar from a software company (anyone remember Pixar Typestry? I still have a copy...) into a movie studio. So, heading up a movie/multimedia conglomerate would hardly be out of character for him. I always thought he was more showman than techie.
What puzzles me is, what the heck would a Disney do with an Apple computer It's not like Disney needs it's own brand of computer (the iMickey!?). I suspect if they do get Apple, they are going to try to squeeze it into a niche market, like just education or just "a kid's computer." It seems to me that Apple just barely survived it's niche trap last time. Putting its foot back into the bear trap at this point would be colossaly dumb.
