I'm not at all sure "Star Trek: Keeping the kids away from gangster rap since 1987!" is a workable or appealing slogan...

Actually I'd say that the tagline was modified from the original, "Star Trek: a distraction from society's poo since 1967"

Well, my point, healthily sprinkled with what we like to call The Funny, is that that dichotomy is weird and comes out of left field, and thus amused me enough to point it out.
To explain myself (and thus kill the joke, I suppose, such as it is): I have a hard time imagining the social circle where kids are faced with the gritty choice between listening to Tupac and arguing over the proper crew compliment of the Ambassador class. The rough and tumble ghettos around Urbana, maybe. Or Cambridge MA. And then consider that kids trading MP3s are just as much proto-technofetishists as the kids trading internal elevation sketches.
I'm not sure why I'm going on about this, it was just a minor bit of humor in an otherwise interesting interview.
I wonder if it's ok to trade cyberpunk rap songs?

Doesn't seem terribly keen on the NX-01 does he?

That's the Moore-syndrom. A shame he's gone, but at least he can tell us now what he really thinks of Berman and his gang.
