‘Star Trek’ Creator Gene Roddenberry’s Lost Data Recovered From 200 Floppy Disks

DriveSavers announced Monday that it recovered documents from 200 floppy disks used by the Star Trek creator, though no details of the documents' contents have yet been revealed. Roddenberry created scripts for the futuristic '60s show on a typewriter, but it is interesting to note that the 200 5.25-inch floppy disks paired with a custom-built computer Roddenberry later used to write show ideas and notes.

This is very, very cool but it's bait to get us to watch the new series. The timing is too perfect (and too mysterious). Roddenberry would not be bothered with a computer for his writing I think. I met the man. Not his style, despite his futuristic ideas. Still not gonna pay for CBS online streaming to see it.
