Got my picture taken the second time, and he autographed one of my books.. *sigh* :) Definite favorite, too bad Trek actors are overlooked during these memorials. I remember getting really upset about that Mr. Doohan was not mentioned that year.. I seem to remember writing an email and actually getting a response. couldn't quite get into any award shows after that. Just don't like it when people don't get proper credit, you know?

It was only 0.6 seconds, but for an android almost a lifetime.
