Set phasers on kill

The first time I ever used a computer was the Friday after Thanksgiving, 1978, when I got to use the DEC PDP 11/70 system on the campus of Goshen College, where my Dad taught. I was immediately entranced by the power and mystery of the digital computer, and quickly hooked on trek

Today, 29 years later, I’ve found that Trek lives on, and I could obtain C-code for Mac OS X that provided an experience akin to my first experience long ago, without having to bike two miles into campus. It took me about 40 minutes to gain enough competence to win my first game by destroying four enemies.
