Ooh! Reloaded the page and it came up! Then switched to “backorder”, but my purchase went through. If you’re trying and see “sold out”, refresh the page every so often. I suspect their system may be having issues.

Unfortunately, I woke up and have forgotten anything more, so I don’t know if he got the job or not.

But thanks for the cameo, Steven!

So the next candidate comes in, holds up a puppet, and starts performing something. Steven walks over, sits next to them, and starts performing with a Muppet (I think The Count, but the details are fading now, so maybe another? But definitely a Muppet rather than some similar puppet thing).

Also, of course, I'm not against _all_ electronic/mechnical computational technology.

Maybe "Butlerian Luddite"? Would that make sense to anyone other than me?

Also, I'm amused that my listing of variations didn't start with the NX-01. How obvious can I make it that _Enterprise_ wasn't my favorite entry in the Trek show lineup?
