Hello World!
I went Christmas shopping with my sister yesterday. Well, technically, she shopped while I carried the bags and helped decide on those difficult choices.
The city centre was buzzing up until 10 o'clock at night when we left, with traffic queues in and out. I can't imagine what shopping in the day must be like there. I certainly don't intend to be there to find out.
Annoying as the bustle was, I must admit the general atosphere was quite nice. With the Christmas lights switched on and stalls selling hot chestnuts and santa hats in the streets.
Even so, I'm very relieved I got most of mine done back in October.

Trek Two Years Ago
Below are some of the most important headlines from TrekToday on Tuesday December 7, 1999:
In a new article by Michael Hinman looked at the rift which exists between fans of the Original Series and fans of the Next Generation. The Original article can still be found here.
A new report appeared about 'The Green Mile' the film adaption of the Stephen King novel that was due to be released in the US in a week. One of the stars of the film is James Cromwell, who appeared in 'First Contact' as Zefram Cochrane, and had three more guest appearances on the television series in other roles. In the film, he'll be playing prison warden Hal Moores, head of a Southern prison in 1935.
More headlines from that day can be found in our December 1999 archives.
