Since the TV series "Star Trek" premiered 40 years ago today, does anyone
notice any similarity between the set used for that and the "orange" S/360
decor? Any other similarities?
I think that ST was very notable for its time in that the ship computers
didn't use mag tapes or disks--contrast with other contemporary Hollywood
fare.
There was mention of "microtapes" now and then, which appeared to be the
same size as 3.5" floppies. Also, there was a tape cartridge in Star Trek
II.
