- I wonder if Harlan Ellison is sharpening his lawyers for a new lawsuit.
-
- About twenty years ago, Ellison was pitching a TV series concept,
- Man Without a Time, about a time-traveler who gets involved in
- `fixing' history. He had a companion, an immobile smartass computer
- named, if I recall, TEX (Temporal EXtrapolator).
-
- Oh well, if he didn't sue the Quantum Leap folks, I guess TimeTrax is
- safe. Maybe there is a statute of limitations on these things...
