  1. Well back in the day... Programs were striaght foward and streamlined. There was no extra junk inserted into programs. No one needed super hard drives or lots of memory to get the job done.

     

    I think it is nice to see what accomplishments have been made in the world of PC's.

     

    :cool:


  2. The order that I use is...

     

    ST Movie DVD's (In Chronological Order [MP to Nemesis]), ST Movies Directors Cut DVD's (In Chronological Order [MP to ST5:Final Frontier]), ENT (VHS Recorded from TV), TOS (VHS), TOS (Animated VHS), TNG (DVD), DS9 (DVD), Voyager (VHS).

     

    When the Voyager Season DVD's and Enterprise Season DVD's start appearing, then I will phase out the VHS by giving them to friends.

     

    There is nothing wrong with order.

     

    :cool:


  3. For a non canon design, someone took a lot of time and dedication to "give life" to a ship that was merely just a name in "Star Trek: Nemesis."

     

    In my book that diserves something.

     

    I like the design. If Paramount does ever decide to make the visual leap with the Titan, I hope that they contact the designer of this ship.

     

    Not bad, not bad at all!!!


  4. I was reading my latest issue of PC Today... and saw something that made stop and smile. In an article toward the end of the March 2004 issue, there was a comparison between IBM's first PC model and it's current 2004 PC desktop system. For those of you who remember 1981, this might make you stop and smile.

    This information made me stop, take a look at my still operational Compaq 486s (Which runs Windows 3.1 / DOS 6.22) that sits beside my 2003 Dell PC, pat it and say... You've come a long way baby!

     

    :cool:


  5. I hate decals. It takes careful precision to place them and once their on, their on. This model is top notch in my book. I was thinking of getting the NCC-1701-A model that was right beside it. I might pick it up Sunday. I totally love these models (toys).

     

    I dont care what age you are, any fan of Enterprise can enjoy this toy!!!

     

    :cool:


  6. I can help. I have been Game mastering Dungeons & Dragons (2nd Edition to 3rd Edition to 3.5 Edition), White Wolf (Vampire: The Masquerade and Werewolf: The Apocylapse) and Alternity for nine years.

     

    First things first... I need to know what type of character you are playing and your character level, and the kind of monster that you are trying to attack.

     

    Secondly, are you playing the newest version of Dungeons and Dragons or Version 2?

     

    Let me know...

     

    :cool:


  7. The coolest Klingon War song that I ever heard was on a DS9 episode.  I dont remember the name of the episode, but it was sang by Worf, General Martok, and Martok's crew after General Martok's Bird-Of-Prey destroyed an enemy vessel.

    Thats the one I'm trying to find out about "Soldiers of the Empire" : cool song, cooler scene, incredibly cool episode ( if that dont make ya grab ya bat'leth nothing will :force: ) :eek:

    Tell me about it.

     

    I used to know of a site that had a snippet of the song. I think that the site was called Sector 0-0-1. I dont know if they still have the .wav or not. But if you do find the song... then please let me know

     

    *Raises Bloodwine and Shouts, "Long Live The Empire"*

     

    :huh: :cool:


  8. I recently purchased an Enterprise NX-01 model from Toys R Us. This model is very cool. The ship is about a foot long, lights up and makes seven different sounds. It even has its own stand (that has the Enterprise logo seen on the arms of the uniforms seen on the show). If anyone is a big Enterprise fan and has the chance to get this then do it! You will not be disapointed.

     

    :cool:


  9. I bought this game when it came out in 2000 and I still play it once a month. I thought that the game was great, especially the on-screen interactive 3-D models of ships in the game. Another Activision classic.

     

    I would love to see Valkeries in Star Trek sometime if Paramount ever makes another 24th Century Television show.


  10. Captain Jean Luc Picard.

     

    Captain Kirk was ingenious of working out difficult decisions and making the hard call, but Picard is definately the Captain that has the ability to keep his suave and debonair manner in any situation.

     

    *Hats Off To Patrick Stewart*
