Thanks, I'm a bit unsure about Trek, in that while I loved the original 
series, I never really clicked with the newer ones, although I enjoyed a 
lot of Voyager, and Enterprise. I'm a bit of an old git, I liked the 
cold war feel that the older series had, and found the non-
confrontational approach of Next Generation a bit limp. I don't really 
do on-line games either. But I'll try and investigate further.
