h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I need to pick you up on a couple of points:

The NCC 1701-D Galaxy Class USS Enterprise did indeed have three computer cores, but the distribution was TWO in the saucer section, between decks 5 and 14, and the third in the engineering section between decks 30 and 37.

The "unmarked buttons and meaningless reference numbers" are obviously NOT meaningless in a dramatic sense, only in reality. You might like to mention that they are commonly referred to as "Okudagrams" after the inventor of the interface, scenic artist Mike Okuda.

Also, you have Holly's gender down as "male", whereas for at least half the life of the series it's been female (as played by Hattie Hayridge). You have his/her IQ wrong too - it was originally SIX thousand: the same IQ as six thousand PE teachers, or was it twelve thousand traffic wardens?

Hand me my anorak, matron...

(like the entry, btw, good idea)

Thanks, I've added it, but I will be checking in the technical manual.

I'm flattered that you think I didn't...

Have you read the entry on my "My Space" page?

Its all true....

Did you forget the intelligent "bomb" in Dark Star?

Or yet another O'Bannion movie, Mother in Alien

> Did you forget the intelligent "bomb" in Dark Star?

No I didn't but I've only seen bits of that film, plus the banner "Bombed out in space with a spaced out bomb." Plus the alien looked terrible due to a special effects budget of a buck fifty.

If you can provide a bit more info on this computer, I will consider adding an entry on it. I've already put in Mother from Alien.

Any others? I'm really stumped, but I think I've got the majority of the memorable computers.
