Exactely! I won't! There'll probably be a sharp rise in listeners for the novelty value for a very short time, immediately followed by a large sharp and permanent downturn in listernership because this is the most inane and stupid use of technology that must surely have ever come about! I'm so happy for the people involved that they have so little to do with their lives that they could set up this trash. They could provide useful content - instead they provide this! Its such a pity! Radio has such potential, its a shame to see this squandered.
I agree with the original poster - insurrection was the best of the lot as far as TNG movies go. Generations was so-so and First Contact could have been so much better but wasn't. Insurrection was great because it had all the stuff I really liked about Trek in it. The human story was great. I'm not sure what First Contact was trying to be? It wasn't a good action movie and didn't have enough edge to be a good 'Good Vs. Evil' movie either.
Ok, as it seems that this thread has just turned into a big steaming pile of uninformed crud, I'm gonna post some sites that are a good place to start. www.oberthurcs.com and www.gemplus.com are two samrt card vendors. As for sun's JavaCard, its not the only type of smart card environment out there. Another good stopping off point to learn about one type of cards system is www.cepsworld.com. Thats VISA's Common Electronic Purse System and, unlike credit cards, does have money stored on the card. Its a pity some people on this site don't shut their mouths instead of just posting crap!
