Does anyone have a copy of this, or know where I can find a copy of the introduction by Rick Sternbach on the net?

I have a copy of it, from my old days as a Trek fan. Was there a specific section of the intro you needed? The intro's kind of long and the book's dimensions don't agree well with scanning.

The TM is the most boring sci-fi book ever written, by far. I've read legal disclaimers that were more interesting than the TM.

I'm looking specifically for the quotes concerning the TM's "official" status, as written by Sternbach.

Can you find the Enterprise duck and hamster wheel in the Technical Manual? I'm sure I remember reading that it was included in the Master System Display panel as an injoke...

Lord of the Farce: PM me with your e-mail address, and I'll send a scan of the relevant sections.

EDIT: I can't grab whole pages easily with my current scanner, which is why I needed to know which parts you wanted.

Yeah, I've got a copy of the TM, and I find it an interesting read.

Aside from the duck and wheel, there is also a sports car in a shuttle bay, the nomad probe just under the bridge and a airplane near the nomad probe.
