I recently came back from Las Vegas and a stop at the Las Vegas Hilton to 
see the Star Trek Experience. Although I'm not the biggest Trekkie, I 
enjoyed the whole experience (even at $15 a person - which suprised me 
because I'm so cheap).

After you turn in your ticket and start to wait in line, there is a Star 
Trek history timeline that mentions the invention of transparent aluminum 
in San Francisco "...on his Macintosh computer." A little later you see a 
Mac Plus in a display case along with other memorabilia from the movies 
and TV shows, as a reference to the same scene in the same movie. Neat!

The clincher was after my wife and I came out of the experience and I saw 
four touch screen kiosks where you could learn more about Star Trek 
stuff. I don't really know because three out of four of them were not 
working. Why not? Closer inspection revealed NT 4.0 had blue screened 
with some type of missing .INI thing. I'm not sure what that is - I use a 
Mac.
