An official slightly off topic anouncement

I am running Speakup and Orca both on an AMD Athlon64x2 dual-core system
as I am typing this.  It really rocks.  The only problem is that
speechd-up and speech-dispatcher even the newest versions still seem to
die on dual-core systems.  I have thus far failed to report the bug (my
fault) and am currently using my hardware synthesizer for Speakup for
now.

As for the enterprise NCC-1701D computer, I would love to have one of
those myself.  It's much faster and better and I'm sure much more
expensive than even the best supercomputer available today.

As for the specifications of the Enterprise and other Federation ships,
the best places to look are probably startrek.com and memory-alpha.org.
Memory-alpha is basically a wikipedia of all things Star Trek.  It's
quite nice.

And yes, I am a huge fan of Star Trek in all its forms, and especially
the greatest character of all, Jadzia Dax.  I have even made sound clips
of her voice to put in my .procmailrc. <smile> Let me know if you want
one or both of the clips I made now that I've gone completely off-topic.
<smile again>

Lorenzo
