I knew Vincent Price from films - he was a big movie star - but the first time I met him was when we filmed 'The Oblong Box.'
I did play Ramses II once, who lived to be 91 and had 120 children, but he died 4,000 years ago.
I was always interested in enchantment and magicians and still am.
Intuit made their bed five years ago when they said they wouldn't be updating QuickBooks for the Mac. Now they're doing the same with QuickBooks for the Web. Obviously, they don't consider the Mac experience as important, but we do. Those who like the Mac platform should check us out.
I occasionally used to pop into Hammer House to say hello, cadge a drink or something and Jim was always great I also used to see a lot of him at Variety Club things, where he did wonderful work. He thoroughly deserved his knighthood.
I'm familiar with some of the cases he was involved in, and I wanted to pay my respects.
There's no question that the Mac is a niche player right now. But MYOB isn't a broad-based consumer company, so we can be more effective targeting niches than spending $40-$50 million on marketing. Intuit is a consumer marketing company and is trying to be everything to everybody. Our mission is to increase customers' efficiency and profitability. That may be a niche business in a niche market, but we think we fit in real well with the Mac.
You could come in, know the proprietor, know the menu, know what you wanted to eat before you arrived and know you will be treated with friendship and respect and see someone you know.
