Captain Kirk,

You convinced overblown IT systems to turn themselves off...M-5, Landru, Nomad, Roger Korby and Norman.

When rhetoric failed, you phasered the computers in A Taste of Armageddon. You took down Dr. Adam's Neural Neutralizer and debunked your own internal ERP system (the Enterprise computer) when it sought to court-martial you!

Fifty years later our world faces the same challenges...please tell me your secret! Can we run large IT projects that don't break?

Note my green suit – it's the real thing - worn by William Schallert (Nilz Barris) playing the large project authorizer in "The Trouble With Tribbles.”

Not ready for beam-up,

Jon
