ZF>ZF>>After that, the STTNG Tech Manual, and the ST Chronology.
ZF> BN> Re TOS timeframe, Z, what's your general opinion of Franz
ZF> BN> Joseph??
ZF>He was a wonderful architectual draftsman, and a fine man to discuss 
hings
ZF>with on long book-signing publicity road trips.
The manual, you idjit, the manual.... 
ZF>Keep in mind, he was not a fan prior to this; he was doing this for his
ZF>daughter, and using his skills as an draftsman to make her and her friends
ZF>happy.
Yup.
ZF>He cut corners, and he made things up as he went, and a few things he 
obviously
ZF>went overboard on (like the circuit diagrams), but overall, he did a fine 
job
Hey, what do you expect of a tech-type like that?  -- like
McCoy said, "I know engineers; they lovvve to change things...."
ZF>I only wish he had been around long enough to have done the TNG
ZF>because I hoped he would have made corrections or updates
ZF>to the original.
Yeah, pity, ain't it? :(
ZF>Enough dodging...for the person who needs "absolutely everything", it's a 
must.
Good God, we agree on something tech.  The Apocalypse cometh!
  Sine qua non, as it were. :)
ZF>And mine's autographed...
Well, naturally -- you're a show-off.
