Surely you jest. Have you seen the trailer for the movie? It's updated, not retro. People will laugh in derision if this movie portrays computers speaking with that "Wor-king...wor-king...Error! Error! Does...not...compute!" style of yesteryear. That's the kind of thing Trek needs to get away from!

I am cheered to hear Majel will be voicing the computer again though. That's definitely a tradition that deserves to continue.
