"The Borg"?

[Lewis Dodd]

Ok, I have seen reference to this "place" for a long time, just what is "THE BORG"?

It's a reference to Star Trek, where an alien civilisation cruised the universe, assimilating everything and everyone it came across like a giant virus: "You will be assimilated; resistance is futile". I.E., any big box home improvement store. When they come to town, the Mom and Pop places seem to die.

Curses. I was hoping to find escapism from my dreary real life of putting up with hostile Trek-nerds and Star Wars fanboys and comic book dorks in the computer industry by getting into woodworking. I arrive only to find more of the same. Damn you, Shatner!

Then again, what can a guy expect on newsgroups? :)
