tlhIngan mu' <<weQmoQnaQ>> DaSov'a'? :

(MO, qepHom 2012 [via De'vID 11/22/2012]):  Maltz said that the primitive computer systems used by Terrans are very different from the superior systems used by Klingons, but there is some overlap. He was going to give this more thought also, but he did say that the closest thing to World Wide Web is {weQmoQnaQ}. [...] I checked with Maltz. He's fuzzy about Terran computer technology and computer terms, but he said that {weQmoQnaQ} is not the same thing as the Internet. He said, if he understands correctly, you can do many more things with the Internet than just dealing with the {weQmoQnaQ}. But he stopped there, so I'll have to bother him again to find out about these other things. I also asked him about the word Internet. He said he thought that it was pretty funny that Terrans use that word. He laughed a little bit, as if there were some sort of a joke. But he didn't elaborate.
