  This is exactly true...  However, I always wanted to ask (and I apologize
  in advance since this question has little to do with PC gaming): Spock
  says something in the lines of "one of my ancestors used to say" and he
  goes on with abovementioned phrase.  Does that mean that Sherlock was
  one of Spocks', hmmm..., relatives? ;)  Any ideas on that matter?  Or is 
  it Star Trek newsgroup FAQ and I should go and read it first?

  Also, can someone comment on vol.II and III of Sherlock Holmes CD-ROM
  game?  Any good?  Any different from vol.I?  TIA,

Mark M.

P.S.: Follow-ups redirected to c.s.i.p.g.misc - I think we're getting pretty
      far away from flight-sims and such...
