What's Captain Dunsil doing with a Klingon weapon?
(You have to be a REAL Trek afficianado to get this joke... ;)

From one of my fave episodes, "The Ultimate Computer". William "Blacula" Marshall was great in that one - "M5, this is your creator!"

Yeah, I'm a hopeless Trek geek!

You and me both my FRiend. When installing (or reinstalling) Windows, I always name my machine "M5" ;)

As an FYI, one of William Marshall's latter gigs was portraying the "King of Cartoons" on the famous (now infamous) "Pee Wee's Playhouse".

As a matter of fact, Mr. Marshall passed away barely 3 years ago (June '03) from Alzheimers. He was a very fine actor.

As for Dr. Richard Daystrom, I always thought it would have been a great plot development (almost as good as the revival of Khan in the second Trek motion picture) if he had been rehabilitated from his nervous breakdown, and in a post-M5 environment managed to re-create (from the raw data in the Enterprise computer systems) the hybrid "Nomad" probe (from "The Changeling"), designating it (what else?) "M6". ;)

In the original series, my favorite character (for reasons I will not expound upon - lol ;) was Yeoman Rand, played by Grace Lee Whitney. :)
