<br>------------
<br>Maltz said that the primitive computer systems used by Terrans are very
<br>different from the superior systems used by Klingons, but there is some
<br>overlap. He was going to give this more thought also, but he did say
<br>that the closest thing to "World Wide Web" is {weQmoQnaQ}.
<br>------------
<br>
<br>I asked Marc Okrand - just to be sure - if this is the same as the
<br>internet, or if we could even call that *'Internet*, and this was his
<br>answer:
<br>
<br>-----
<br>I checked with Maltz.
<br>
<br>He's fuzzy about Terran computer technology and computer terms, but he
<br>said that {weQmoQnaQ} is not the same thing as the Internet. He said,
<br>if he understands correctly, you can do many more things with the
<br>Internet than just dealing with the {weQmoQnaQ}. But he stopped there,
<br>so I'll have to bother him again to find out about these other things.
<br>
<br>I also asked him about the word *'Internet*. He said he thought that it
<br>was pretty funny that Terrans use that word. He laughed a little bit,
<br>as if there were some sort of a joke. But he didn't elaborate. I guess
<br>that's for another time.
<br>-----
<br>
<br>Does anyone see the pun? It took me some time, but I'm not a native
<br>english speaker.
