Yeah, but the only way to get Nimoy to do the part would be to let him direct
the commercial ! :-)

You also need to add Bones saying, "Dammit, Jim, I'm a surgeon, not a hacker !"

And, of course, Chekov needs a good scream or two...

(Lets see, how many more new lines does Pnews need ? ...uh... oh, yeah)

Maybe add something like "M-5 Controller" to the window... or maybe not.

Of course, maybe Commodore could just take the money they would have 
spent on this and rebate all us faithful Amigos... 

Seriously, while it would probably be impossible to get approval from
Paramount and Roddenberry, I think Commodore could do much worse than an 
ad like this. F'rinstance, the commercial they used to run for the C64, showing
the kid getting on the train for college, then coming back 'cause he flunked
out 'cause he didn't have his own C64 to become smart with. I *hated* that one;
"Gee, guys, let's just blackmail the public into buying our product !"

(Finally ! Enough lines !)
