	"... the broker I contacted yesterday about this said that

It's true, an "odd lot" (not a multiple of 100 shares) costs extra.
Typically 12.5 cents extra per share.  Big deal.

	"... with the minimum number of shares being 10 ..."

This is the particular broker's restriction.  Many brokers will sell
you just one share.  My broker says this is fairly common for glamor
stocks like Disney.

I've got my one share, a pretty certificate, and I get cute 15 cent
checks four times a year.  I haven't had the heart to actually cash one
yet.

To repeat the basic instructions:  to buy one share of Disney stock,
look in the phone pages under "stock broker."  Find one whose ad
includes the word "discount" but which is not Charles Schwab (the
Cadillac of discounters.)  Call them up and tell them you want to buy
one share of Disney stock, at the market price, and that you want the
certificate delivered to you.  (The alternative is that the broker
holds the stock in "street name" and you won't get shareholder
benefits.)  If you're not an established client, you may have to pay up
front.  A typical discounter's charge would be $20 above the cost of
the share.  Shop around and you may be able to do better.

Don't bother contacting Disney to buy stock.  (Disney dollars, sure.)

I'm a fairly big fan of Disney movies and I also collect toys, so naturally
I'm interested in old Disney toys.

I mainly collect Hagen-Rennaker ceramics. These are highly detailed
miniature (2" tall or less) ceramic figures of Disney characters. They
were originally sold at Disneyland in the 1950's and 1960's. Does anyone
else out there collect these things? They are really quite beautiful.
Does anyone have any to trade or sell?

I was there a week and a half ago.  "SpectroMagic" runs twice nightly,
at 9 and 11 pm.  It was stunning.  Fireworks are at 10 pm.  Also, while
you're at WDW, try to catch the fireworks at Disney/MGM Studios,
nightly at 9:55 pm.  IMHO, they are better than the Magic Kingdom's.

  The menu changes daily,due to the fact that the chef on staff
decides what will be served that day by what is best available in
the local market.At my last visit to the Grand Floridian the menu

I would skip the car and save the money, but then having done something
similar to your trip, without the child and car, I would skip the Polynesian
also. The Hotels will move your luggage for you, and I found parking( the last
2 days with a car) a pain in the ass at any park. The busses and Monorail and

to any park without changeing busses.

(1) Because it looks a lot nicer on the big screen than it does on the boob
tube, IMHO.  Because they've remastered the print and soundtrack since the
videotape was released.  Because it's more fun to see it in a theatre full 
of people cheering, hissing, clapping, etc.   Because there's about a light-
year of difference between seeing a movie at, say, a state-of-the-art 70mm 
six-track Dolby stereo theatre and seeing it at a second-run house.

(2) Maybe it's in video stores where you live, but I've *never* seen the
videotape, anywhere.  And yes, I've looked all over the place.  

(3) Take a chill pill, pal...

I just got Yawara volume 23!
I will update the Yawara timeline when I finish reading this one.

There is an ad for the Maison Ikkoku "wide version" manga.
1100 yen each.  Volume one went on sale 7/30, and one volume will
come out at the end of each month.  There will be 10 volumes total.
Each one is A5 size and 348 pages.

When do you think the wide version Ranma will come out?

I wish they would have done the wide versions in the first place!
I don't want to end up with two copies of my favorite manga...

I don't know either.  But I do remember seeing someone translate a Japanese 
newspaper article about Miyazake, and added a brief criticism of the article
in order not to violate a native copyright law.  Apparently excepts can 
lawfully be used in a critique (sp?) in either country.  I can imagine
future fan translators trying to take advantage of this.

This is obviously dependent on the friend.  I call PUMA hentai fairly
often.  He usually agrees with me. (PUMA's a rather good champions GM,
only problem is that whenever he gets some new anime, characters from

Does anybody know anyhting about this manga? It just recently started
in Family Comic (HK manga magazine).

For the uninitiated, it seems almost like Ranma 1/2, with main
hero changing to a girl whenever he gets attacked (sort of like the
Hulk, but a lot better looking). The character design for the hero(ine)
[in female form] is very Madoka-like, and there's another girl who
looks a lot like Hikaru-chan. Everybody else (ie. the bad guys) appear
to be androids.

Also, I'm very happy to finally see Ah My Goddess appear in FC (as of
issue 561, 18th July). For those of you looking for a GREAT poster, get
this issue. It contains an A2 (four-times foolscap, for those of you
who don't know what A2/3/4 is) size glossy colour poster of AMG. Now I
can finally use the recently-posted translations. (since I can't read
chinese characters...)

BTW. The first "episode" has the word "Chapt.40" at the top. I hope
that doesn't mean it's not the first part?? It starts off (after the
cover pic) with xxxxx (haven't figured their names out yet) floating
over some splintering wood wearing a black dress. (Is this part 1?)

Also, does anyone know who the artist is for Angel Beat? Great artwork
(well, I like it).

Ya know, the anime and manga fans can be on there at the same time you know.
And there's no reason that you can't start a manga channel...
BTW, it's called the anime channel becuase people mostly talk about anime
