Hello World!

I'm just enjoying whizzing around the internet using Opera. I downloaded the newest version of this dinky little browser, and its just so damn fast!

I tend to keep Opera on my computer as well as Internet Explorer, and switch over when IE crashes too much or is otherwise generally annoying me. Opera almost never crashes. At least for me. Besides, its Norwegian and that has to be cool.

Trek Two Years Ago

Below are some of the most important headlines from TrekToday on Wednesday December 1, 1999:

• Rick Berman on Series V
  The man at the head of the Star Trek franchise talked about the series he was in the process of developing.

  We are talking about a show that would either begin to air a year from now, fall of 2000, or possibly January of 2001. I have been working with Brannon Braga on it and we have had a lot of discussions with Paramount about it. Nothing is carved in stone yet but we are very excited about the direction it is going in -- it is quite a different direction. At this point, we are waiting on a green light to go ahead and get working on the script, which we hope will happen shortly. There are still questions on where it is going to air, etc. that have to be decided upon.

  
  Of course, today we're more familiar with this concept as Enterprise, which began to air in September.

More headlines from that day can be found in our December 1999 archive.
