Talking about the removal of the Mission Space Countdown Clock in Innoventions..
"We did take down the countdown clock, but there isn't any delay with the construction of Mission: Space," said Bill Warren, a Disney World spokesman. Warren said although the ride is still scheduled to open in 2003, the sign never meant to indicate a specific date.

Asked about the sponsorship deal with Compaq, and how the possible HP takeover may affect the deal...
"There should be no change in the relationship with Disney relative to the ride," said Arch Currid, a Compaq spokesman.
Warren said Disney World officials aren't worried. "We're feeling pretty good about our corporate relationships on this project."
