Murray Well, since we are talking about enthusiasm, I remember when STTMP (known as 'stamp' to us...) came out. I was still in high school (ok, so I'm young) and my best friend and I were so happy that we skipped school to wait outside the theatre for the movie. We got there at 08:00 for the 20:00 showing. We were there alone until around noon, when the line started to grow. I must say the high point was having dinner at 17:00 (we made a McDonalds run) and watching the local episode (Tribbles, no less) on my friend's battery TV, with around half the line watching with us. The local paper came and took our photos and we had a rep for about the next month. PS, we did this for ST2TWOK, too. -Spock! (Christopher J.
