Polonthi's Universe: May 2013

Bajoran PADD - SOLD

Now that we are using iPADs and similar devices all the time, it is still intriguing to see that 20 years ago those were common usage in Star Trek.

Coming in all kind of shapes depending on races, those are fun to collect.

Had the impulse to buy this Bajoran one from a fellow collector.

Bajoran PADD

In use during the 24th century, Bajoran PADDs were small, roughly oval-shaped devices, nearly the same size as the small Federation PADD variant. Capable of the same general function as their alien counterparts, Bajoran PADDs could be used to download information from primary computer sources, including text documents as large as novels. They were also able to display information in Bajoran as well as other languages. (DS9: "Emissary", "The Jem'Hadar", "Shadows and Symbols")

As far as I remember Star Trek, my oldest and most vivid memory is being a young kid scared of a fearfull Gorn creature. I didn't have a shield to raise to protect me but the backside of my parent's coach was plenty enough still.

40+ years later my Gorn fear as subsided but not my passion for everything touching Star Trek. A few years ago, I started looking at IAW auctions and was barely aware of the potential of it before it ended. Luckily enough the Star Trek props universe is vast and I could start to own even though a modest collection, one that fills me with pride and happiness.

Having touched a bit outside Trek as well but still it remains my principal focus.

Do hope you'll find even a slight interest in looking at those, I only wish we could do it together over a nice glass of wine to share our stories and passion.

Cheers.
