- I'm not sure if I'm totally welcome here, not being from "down-under" (I'm
- from "up-over"--Ottawa, Canada), but this is the first time I've run
- across a science fiction area in my short travels. I'm also a big ST:TNG
- fan (literally, I've got scar tissue on my head from where it bumps the
- doorways), and find it interesting that the episodes you are seeing seem
- to be pretty old by our standards. Of course, I'm just getting over my
- disappoint at reading a "spoiler" from the States, where they are a week
- ahead of us, apparently. Aaaaanyway, regarding the comment about this
- area being taken over by Trekkies--Has anyone read "Earth" by David Birn?
- It's got some interesting stuff on this whole worldwide computer network
- thing that I'm just beginning to uncover. Aside from the interesting
- ideas, the book isn't that great, as he kind of loses control of the story
- towards the end... But it _did_ keep me entertained.
