The most interesting thing is how the writer tosses out "USS Voyager" with no context at all. See, Trek is still pop culture.Actually, I kid. This is a rather fascinating article, Xentrick. Shields and cloaking devices? Recent letter-writers to Time magazine have expressed a certain disdain for the future we seem to be so rapidly gaining on, but I say let's go! ------------------ "If Picard was set loose on a Monopoly board, he'd try and establish peaceable diplomatic relations with Marvin Gardens and give St. James Place wide berth so that its culture could develop without interference." -- L. Fitzgerald Sjoberg **** Read chapter one of "Dirk Tungsten in...The Disappearing Planet"! Because I'm the passenger, and I ride and I ride.

There was an article a few months ago on Discover about a new injection tool that acts like a hypospray, and before that there was another article about a prototype replicator that makes things out of plastic.Who says Star Trek is fiction? ------------------ "See, for a Republican, a heart is like an appendix. It's nice to have it, but you don't really need it." --Jay Leno

Yes, why would they say "USS Voyager"? Usually, the Enterprise is used for vague Trek references...------------------ Pickhard: "What is our progress, Beta?" Beta: "Excellent, captain. I require only one more Thunderstone to evolve my Pikachu to level 47." -from the Sev Trek movie trailer
