Disney once prosecuted a grandmother for unauthorized use of a character on some items for her grandchildren, or so I understand. I know they have a pit bull reputation for copyright protection.<< And that's why the RCMP signed a contract with Disney to get help with copyright & trademark protection for RCMP souvenirs, which were being greatly abused. The Mounties took a lot of flack for it, and they didn't renew Disney's 3-year contract when it expired, but they were definitely learning from the experts. Garfield is covered by trademark & copyright protection too. P. L Travers wrote the Mary Poppins books. I understand that her(?) family was very irritated at the Disneyfication of Travers' famous character, who was _not_ syrupy-sweet in the books. IIRC, Travers' Mary Poppins could be downright ornery.

Not sure of the title...think was The Nanny & The Professor...very hazy memory of blonde lady, a dark haired father, two cute tykes and a dog. Which pretty much sums up a lot of tv shows from when I grew up! LOL! How about a crossover of FK and Lost in Space? LaCroix gets stuck aboard the Robinson's ship and...hmm...no. The only surviving character past a week would be Robbie the Robot and LaCroix.. Then it would turn into a parody of the movie 2001 with the audience wondering whether Robbie would drive LC crazy before LC could find a handy screwdriver or can opener... :) Kyer, kyer@p....... <currently sitting before a computer that's sinking fast..glub, glub..iffen you don't hear from for a bit, I may be out shopping to replace this box of techie bolts.> ------------------------------ Date: Mon, 26 Jun 2000 18:36:23 CDT From: "Emily M.Hanson" <emily.m.hanson@u.......> Subject: Re: www.foreverknight.com Mel's site gets my vote.

I need a little advice, off-list of course. I'm looking to build a Forever Knight website of my own to put up fanfic, pix, links, etc. and I need to choose a home page provider. I've been looking at XOOM.com because of the unlimited space they offer, but I'm open to suggestions. Anyone have any advice/opinions to offer?

Winzip version 7.0 and above also has a mime decoder included in the program, and a free trial version can be downloaded at www.winzip.com.
