“Computer. Computer? Mister Spock, why has the computer stopped talking?”

Majel Barrett passed away today of leukemia, surrounded by family and friends.

I have a raft of Majel stories, none of which I feel like recounting right now. I know I liked her a lot, had a number of dealings with her, and she was directly responsible for “Q-in-Law” getting published.

Fortunately her final voice work–the computer–was recorded for the upcoming film. It wouldn’t have been the same without her.

She will be missed.
