Ahh, WordStar. That was a great editor. Keep in mind, at the time the control key on keyboards was where the caps lock key is now, and there weren’t arrow keys. So the left hand moved the cursor up/down/left/right by characters, words, or screens very easily. Once you used it for a while, it became second nature.

It was easier to write text in WordStar than in vi. That was a hard transition. But WordPerfect was a truly opaque piece of software until you had the ubiquitous templates for the function keys.

Yes, SNW is a worthy spiritual successor to TOS.

This episode exists because of the stupid Starfleet rule of having traumatized veterans of the war have to interact positively with the supposedly bad-to-good turned war crime enemy. That’s a classic example of people acting stupid for “plot” (e.g. we couldn’t have this episode without the stupid bit).

Looks like it’s strictly one server. Too bad I can’t connect to multiple servers and switch between them.

When Galaxy Quest came out, Wil Wheaton called Patrick Stewart and told him to go to the theater and see “the best Star Trek movie ever made.”

For ST, the Voyager looked good, but I didn’t like the moving nacelles. The updated Enterprise from the first movie was my favorite iteration of the Big-E.

But, my favorite ship is the Omega class destroyer from Babylon 5. (sue me)
