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...
