Have you ever
wanted to fire up MS Word and start typing away in a Star Trek Next
Generation typeface.
No?
How about a
barbarian-like script, or a Battlestar Galactica font, or even that
weird NASA font with missing horizontal stresses on the A's.
Heck, you might
even like to vary your next shopping list by using the ruthless
Terminator font, or go all Earthforce on us with the famous Babylon
Five font.
Well, citizen,
your dream has come true. Your next love letter in Klingon can now
feature a cruel bump-head typeface too. At least, as long as you
use Windows, not Mac.
You'll find
these science fiction fonts in zip format across the way at http://desktopstarships.com/font.html
If your mind
hasn't been blown by the new found SF-tastic nature of your word
processor, then you'll also find some WAV sounds at http://desktopstarships.com/sounds.html
you can download and set as your system sounds.
Rather cleverly,
some fan has recorded all the computer-speak bits from Trek - you
know the kind of thing, Warp Core Breech Imminent, Intruder Alert
- All Hands On Deck.
Just the thing
to set as a default sound for incoming email. My, won't you be popular
with your work mates when you go to lunch, and your PC starts doing
a tinny-mechanical imitation of Gene R's wife.
There's also
some desktop themes at http://desktopstarships.com/themes.html
- mostly 3D renders of Trek Federation vessels, which you can use
to set as the background image on your screen.
See our own
freebie zone if you need some technical
advice on how to do this (it's down the right hand side).
