Greatest engineer there ever will be.
Nice to have known you Mr Scott.
Favourite line - Star Trek 4 - using a Macintosh. Holds the mouse as a microphone - "computoooor, computoooor"
Brilliant.
Great actor. Sorely missed.

Surely he deserved to boldly go into the depths of space rather than returning to Earth?
