It has been covered, but Clint Howard, who played the commander of the
First Federation ship Fesarius in the ST Classic episode "The
Corbormite Maneuver", played the foreman in the meat factory in "Far
and Away".

Jeffrey Temple has run into a problem when he downloaded, via uucp, the
ST:TNG Program Guide PostScript files.  I tried to email, but he sent e-mail
via the anonuucp connection and the .signature return path doesn't have a
major path.  But, since this will affect ALL who download the files, the
response is being publically posted.

Here is Jeff's letter and my response:

<  My last update of the guide was in March of 1991, so it's been a while.
<It looks great, but I have a problem.  When I print it on my laser 
<printer at work (HP LaserJet IIIsi) it seems any part of the bold text
<defaults to what looks like a Courier font.  For example the very front
<by where you have "by Michael L. Brown and Timothy W. Lynch" it is not
<bold like in my other version but a very bland Courier.  And where you
<have the dedications it is not a Helvetica font any more it is the same
<bland Courier font.  This would be ok, but some of the letters in those
<words with the Courier font have been printed on top of each other.  Also 
<some of the titles on later pages are such a big font that they run off 
<to the left of the page.  Do you have any ideas for me?  I have gotten 
<the guide from your machine through anonuucp.  I got the sttngnc 
<versions.  I printed the entire document and found these problems.  

Oops.  You need the Crillee.ps file.  All of the places that printed Courier
are meant to print using the Crillee font.  I forgot to make it available via
anonuucp.  I will fix the anonuucp area and update the README file.  Be sure
and fetch Crillee.ps and README.

Yeah what IS the deal with this??  NONE of these Deanna Troi figures
appeared anywhere in Austin Texas, and trust me, I looked everywhere,
the first day the figures hit the shelves.  I got all the others for
4.89 at WalMart, people are asking 10+ for the Troi figures.

I say boycott the scalpers and I hope some a**hole is left with a
closetful of Troi dolls like some ^&$%# Harry Mudd nightmare.

I noticed in DS9 that when Sisko and Dax were traveling through the
wormhole Dax referred to the ship's velocity as "80 kph."  I also
remember in a TNG episode that Riker referred to the speed of the
Enterprise in the same manner.  Are they referring to kilometers per
hour?  If so, that is awful slow for a spacecraft?  If not, what are
they referring to?

Well, broken is more gritty than "completely fine and functioning perfectly." I
just saw the Boston debut and was very pleasantly surprised. I like the fact
that the station is a decrepit thing; it will give O'Brien a lot of opportunity
to pull rabbits out of hats (I admit, I used to love it when Scotty did it, and
let's face it, Geordi can do it but doesn't do it with the same flair -- as the
Scotty-and-Geordi episode showed last week up here (don't know the name)
proved!). I like the fact that the women on board kick butt. I like the effects
they're using for Odo. 

In fact, I just plain liked it.

And Avery Brooks was great.

I think the idea was to lighten the space station so as to be able to break 
orbit and move to the worm hole.  And YES the station would way something.  In
that close to the planet gravitation would have some effect on the object.  
Weight is a force.  IE W=Mass * Acceleration of Gravity.  In space there is also
an effect by gravitational pull which is proportional to the masses of the 
objects involved.  Granted weight is probably the wrong word but the principle
is the same.  Reduce the attraction force!

Me too ... I've got a total of 7 episodes available on *Beta* for Sale
at $8 each, or for Trade: 1-for-1 swap for movie on Beta or a used CD;
or, a package deal for whatever you care to propose -- e.g., all for a
set of good stereo headphones (e.g. Sony V6 or V7) or an Apple IWII
sheet feeder).  The remaining collection is as follows:

         8 - Charlie X
        11 - Dagger of the Mind
        12 - Miri
        17 - Shore Leave
        20 - The Alternative Factor
        29 - Operation-Annihilate!
        33 - Who Mourns for Adonais?

Numbers indicate episode numbering on the tape boxes, for those who
are keeping track of what episodes they're missing in that manner.

RSVP for summaries, if necessary.

The tapes are all in excellent condition in the original packaging.
All have been played at least once, but most have been played ONLY
once, and NONE have been played more than twice. Running time: ~50
min. ea.  (Unedited, uncut store-bought originals unlike those in
syndication; all have *incredible* Beta HiFi sound!)

PS: For those of you who may wonder, Beta is alive as a pro/hobbyist

I distinctly remember being surprised that the credits failed to list
Michael Dorn.  More minor characters did get a mention, but not Worf.
Also not listed was Rene Auberjonois (Colonel West?  Tell me if I'm
wrong there), but there would be just a little more reason for that one.
The *opening* credits do list Michael Dorn, but not Auberjonois, or
Dorn's character's name.

BUT { this is a big but}, It would be less complicated to say that there are 2.4 stardate days in one 24 hour earth solar day.  Therefore, there would be 876
stardate days in 1 earth year.  Checking the books and the "COMPANION", and 
there are no days as of yet that go over 876.
