[SCENE:&#160 ISS Titanic Main Engineering.&#160 Chief Engineer Merlin and a motley crew of Bynars, Klingons, Ferengi and jawas are hovering over a command console, checking & re-checking intermix figures.&#160 On the other side of the console, Captain Korrioth watches with great interest.

Merlin looks up at Korrioth.]

MERLIN:&#160 Almost there, Captain.&#160 Cross-checking a couple of equations now.

KORRIOTH:&#160 Speed is not as critical as accuracy, Wizard.&#160 I like pain as much as the next Klingon, but purple-white Force&#153 lightnimg bolts give me hives.

MERLIN:&#160 Pepper has something for that, as I recall…

[Korrioth glares at Merlin]

MERLIN:&#160 …but your point is well taken, sir.&#160 This warp drive won’t collapse in deep space like the last one did.&#160 On that, you have my word.

KORRIOTH:&#160 See to it, Engineer.&#160 I’ll be on the br…

[The doors to Engineering slide open, revealing Lord Darth Venomous and a slightly taller, hooded figure.&#160 The figure moves with what, to Korrioth’s eye, is a very familiar gait – yet, the Klingon/Vulcan hybrid can’t quite place it.

The pair approach the huddled mass.]

VENOMOUS:&#160 Report, Captain, if you please.

KORRIOTH:&#160 In progress, Admiral.&#160 Engineer Merlin’s work is nearly complete; we should be able to begin testing shortly.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Excellent work, gentlemen.&#160 I brought him some help.

[Venomous nods to the figure, who removes the hood to the loud gasps of the entire assemblage.&#160 Revealed is the visage of Ozymandias McCool, who had previously met his destiny here.

Venomous eyes the group with smug satisfaction.&#160 Korrioth is the first to find his voice.]

KORRIOTH:&#160 How in the hell…?!

VENOMOUS:&#160 A friend of mind has some Spaarti cylinders and owed me a favor.&#160 I keep DNA samples of all of you in a secret location; it was nothing to send my friend a sample.

MERLIN:&#160 Then he’s…

VENOMOUS:&#160 No, he’s not Ozymaandias McCool.&#160 We’re not having any of that shit in this&#160 screenplay.

MERLIN:&#160 Yes, sir.&#160 (to Ozy) So…are you…?

OZY MCCOOL:&#160 I’m ready to go, yes, sir.&#160 I can relieve you now, or wait until you’re done here.

VENOMOUS:&#160 Go ahead and join the party, Ozy.&#160 I want this tub ready to fly ASAP, alright?

MERLIN:&#160 We’re on it, Admiral.&#160 Come along, lad.

[The group returns to their work, a new spring in their step.]

Okay, Denizens, it’s time to see what Windows 7 can do on the Big Box&#153.&#160 I may be incomunicado for a bit.&#160 Hang tight.

    As much as you dislike Herr Gates and his products, why don’t you move to one of the Linux builds?

  2. David, I don’t really hate&#160 M$ products all that much.&#160 It’s just that there are some&#160 things that Gates has cranked out that he perhaps shouldn’t have – at least not until he’d tested them more thoroughly.

    For reference, see “ME, Windows”.&#160 (Or it’s NT-based cousin, Vista.)

    Besides, I can’t find my copy of Thiz Linux at the moment.&#160 (And yes, I really do have a copy of it – but it’s buried in a box somewhere, and I don’t feel like digging it out.)

It helps, though, if you have Microsoft Internet Explorer  set about 1024x768 1280x1024 with your Favorites window activated on the left deactivated.  (At least until I can get a better handle on how WordPress works.)

(KORRIOTH:  Oh, great.  More wormholes.)

Mozilla Firefox doesn't do too badly, either; in fact, it's His Rudeness' browser of choice.
You can  use Nutscrape,  if you so desire - but why in blazes would you want to use a browser from a company that had to hide behind Janet El Reño's skirt to be successful?

And don't even  get me started on Opera or Chrome.  I'm not about  to trust any browser that won't let me change its color scheme.
