I remember hearing Randy Pausch's Last Lecture and he said that one of his dreams/goals was "Authoring an article in the World Book encyclopedia". He did, in fact, get to do that and he shared that after doing so, he now has no problem with people using Wikipedia for research, because he knows what kind of quality control goes into "regular" encyclopedias. :D:

^ Unfortunately, it's not just me. Although I have found some incorrect info on there, they monitor it pretty well, but our school district does not allow it at all and if your bibliography doesn't match your research, may the gods help you.

He moved away several years ago. I'll always remember him as a quiet sort, who liked to nibble on things....

That site is no longer being updated. Try http://figzu.com/aotw instead.

So do I, but until and unless we can entice Iago back, the series looks to remain closed.

Does the Verizon company actually have the program working for those who use their cell phones for park info?

Yes, it is an App for smart phones. Apparently the iPhone is too smart for this...

Thanks. Today I kept on getting questions for where the SG can plug in their i phones and re-charge them. I thought for the i phones, you had to ship them back to get a new battery? I sent them to the photo supply on main street.

I thought the goal was to charge all cell phones and i phones back at a hotel? Too bad your cell phone needs to be re-charged, :mad: That's not Disneyland's problem.

OMG NO! NO! NO! Are you the CM from FrontierLand who sends guests over to recharge cells? :eek: Plsz don't send anyone to Main St. or anyplace else in park & tell them we will recharge cells. This service ended Nov. 09. No one told you? :confused: We wont! We can't! We don't recharge any cells @ PP on Main St!

If you want a new battery, yes, there is a battery replacement program for the iPhone, otherwise just plug it in and charge it :rolleyes:
