No but I remember my roommate mentioning how you could fly the
Enterprise through the... well this girl on some 'video' that
he had...  The way he put it she had a 'large temporal rip'.

"Try moving off NT easily.  You can move from Solaris to HP/UX to
AIX or DEC easily-- relative to moving off of NT, which is like
