I doubt "real" Duotronics would look much like transistors on circuit boards. I can understand why the original set designers didn't bother to make the effort to "futurize" the computer innards. In the '60s, anything electronic already seemed futuristic to the layperson. About the comparison of Kirk in this episode with Kirk in Generations, I don't think that is analogous. In "This Side of Paradise", Kirk is in the prime of his career, commanding his beloved starship, and making a difference in the galaxy. In Generations, he's retired, his starship and its replacement long gone, feels useless and lacks direction (two common symptoms of retirement), and has a lot more regrets and emotional baggage. Temptation would be a whole lot stronger for older Kirk. Kirk probably knew Picard was right from the start, but didn't want to admit it to himself at first. I always thought he convinced too easily to really want to stay in the Nexus.

In fact, you can get full length episodes now on iTunes (but they have only 11 of them). #41:

For that price, you should be getting full length eps. Does anyone know?
