triticale - the wheat / rye guy

Getz Mart

It is a matter of public record that I have never been a fan of Star Trek, let alone a Trekkie or Trekker (I understand there is a subtle difference between those two). I was totally unaware of the tribble tie-in when I chose to identify with my name grain; otherwise I would have chosen something else. From a viewpoint of tie-in coolness I would, without having been the relevant sort of fan, rather have a shoe phone or a wrist phone, but I have to admit that for actual use one of these would be much more practical.

I saw the announcement of the Communicator in an industry-specific weekly, and while researching it online I found a related item which I hope never to see in use.
