I bet she uses a TNG voice. The "werking!" voice is a bit antiquated.

Yeah, I have to admit...Majel's voice is more important that we all think about.

The nice thing is that they have her saying close to EVERYTHING on there, so they could use it again in new episodes. :)

Of course the Shatnerites will use this as another excuse to get up in arms,

It's always you anti-Shatner, anti-TOS board trollers that start this bullshit. Not a single TOS fan has complained about Majel providing the computer voice.

is that it'll be more TNGish since this ship seems more modern than the original.

These are the trips of the Star Trek Enterprise. Its five year plan calls for us to explore strange new worlds, to seek out new life and new civilizations, to boldly fly where no man has gone in space. Live long, and be happy."
