As many others will probably tell you, Qume was showing their CrystalPrint
printer and as an attraction, had four of the Star Trek actors signing 
"photographs" at their booth.  The photos were actually printed on the 
CrystalPrint and quite impressive (very nice blacks!)

I gave Wil a copy of my Star Trek Infostack at the booth, saying "I hope
you have something that will play this."  He looked over the disks and 
said "Oh Wow, it's on TWO disks now!  Yeah, I've got a Mac II."  I gave
disks to Marina Sirtis too, but she made no comment. (She doesn't have
to!)

Ric                           I had no shoes, and I wept.  Then I met a man
Bretschneider                     who had no feet, and I said to him 
                              "Hey man, got any shoes you're not using?"
