Off topic, but I loved the character....

He was a GREAT guy. I feel a little like I did when John Lennon died. NEVER AGAIN can there be a "reunion". It's really over.

I thought the memory of you was gone I thought it buried beneath the years but still it rises bright as Vulcan dawn and I remember you, and earth, and tears

you told me that you loved me and you cried I said I had no feelings and I lied

Geez. Those Stary Trek charcters seemed to immortal on the screen. Especially McCoy, that salt-of-the earth country doctor character who was my #1 favorite in the old TV series. I can't say I knew the man but gosh darn it I am still saddened. Strange.

Who next? Scotty?

Maybe from radiation exposure in the Engine Room.

Sad to see them all dropping like flies.

Beam me up Scotty...

Just reminds me of how old I'm getting is all...

Clock sure is tickin...

Bones has passed on to the real "final frontier", I guess.

Does anyone have the link to our Yourdon Star Trek thread?

I remember posting something about "no soigns of intelligent life" from the new (Capt. Janeway) Star Trek (with Capt. Janeway), but every S.T. was represented. It seems an appropriate tribute to Bones...

Yep, I'll miss old Bones. Hey, the name "Bones" is now more appropriate than ever! But 79 ain't too shabby these days. Most of us will be lucky to make it to 60 after breathing all these contrails and air pollution. Wonder what his illness was?

Kirk is still alive and kickin as the "Big Giant Head" in 3rd Rock. Pretty funny. Wonder how Spock and the rest of the gang are doin.

Leonard Nimoy has a Y2k video. It was reviewed/discussed in an earlier thread which is now in the archives.
