I can't, however, help but harp back to the speed, or lack of it, that the program runs at. It really is awfully slow. You click on a menu item and have to wait more than a few seconds before anything happens, and even then the process of updating the screen is slow and jerky. Not very impressive at all - perhaps they should have got Brent Spiner to work on the interface (he plays Data, in case you were wondering).
In the end this sluggish performance really irritates, as does the fact that the manual isn't very interactive or particularly easy to deal with at times.
More than anything, I'm afraid this CD annoyed me, despite being a big fan of the actual TV series. Addicted Trek junkies will no doubt find the wealth of technical detail and the exploration aspects highly entertaining, but I would not recommend this on a general level.
