Now, I may be a retired Trekker, but there are some things that just go WAY too far.

Like the Star Trek Enterprise Pizza Cutter. http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/collectibles/dea2/

Which is not complete without the Star Trek Enterprise Bottle Opener (http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/bd88/), Klingon Korkscrew (http://www.thinkgeek.com/homeoffice/kitchen/cc91/), Star Wars Chop Sabres (http://www.thinkgeek.com/geektoys/japanfan/c50f/)...

I got a light-up USS Enterprise tree ornament from my gruntkids for X-mas. While I've been a fan since the Original Series, I really have no use for the thing. Anyone want one? Pay shipping and it's yours.

If you will it to your kids, maybe they can take it to Roadshow.

Want to work some sort of deal for that roller inductor?

Gene Roddenberry was one hell of a philosopher, and his wonderful messages got through the censors in the first series.

Here is Captain Picard with one of the best dissertations... from STNG.

Oh.

Yeah, we need to work something out with that inductor. I'm going to keep (and use) the other one, but I won't need to build two tuners now.

Hmmm. We've struck out so far with radio related components. How are you stocked on hard drives & DVD recorders?

CD-ROM burners I've got and I have a number of HDDs but they're all old and probably too small to be of interest of you. I think the largest one I have is a 60GB laptop drive. I have a metric assload of old PC parts and pieces, also mostly old and obsolete.

Sure, but I make no guarantees to how long it may last. Three years in a laptop is hard on a drive.

I do have a Compaq laptop that could use a 60 GB drive, but first I have to get the old drive out (someone really overtorqued those screws).

We'll find something. I'd just rather swap than sell... for one thing, if I get cash and the boss gets wind of it, the cash will be, ah, gone with the wind... and unlike Rhett, I give a damn...

Moyel, Mohel or Mohelet, all same thing bubala. Maybe you should contact the National Organization of American Molahim and go through the application process? Now if you want to really do it right and upset the Rabbi in the process, a starship shaped phaser would do you some justice.

Can't. I'm not religious enough. Just ask my sister. She's still upset that I married a shiksa...

Spelling error. You're thinking of "bubbe"

Bubbe, Zayde Pronounced "Bubbeh" or "Bubbee" and "Zaydeh" or "Zaydee". The Yiddish words for grandmother and grandfather
