He was 85. Doohan died at 5:30 a.m. at his Redmond, Wash., home with his wife of 28 years, Wende, at his side, Los Angeles agent and longtime friend Steve Stevens said. The cause of death was pneumonia and Alzheimer's disease, he said."</i><br /><br /><img src="http://www.smartphonethoughts.com/images/Temporale-20050720-JamesDoohan.jpg" alt="User submitted image" title="User submitted image"/> <br /><br />Alright, who among us has never looked at your phone and uttered those famous words, "Beam me up, Scotty". I know that all of you flip phone users have done this more often then you would like to admit. ;) So lets all pull out our phones and give a hearty <i>Beam Me Up</i> in honor of James Doohan. :cry:

The guys at Pocket PC Thoughts (http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=41667&amp;postdays=0&amp;postorder=asc&amp;start=0) got talking about their favourite Scotty quotes. I would have to say mine is: "Keyboard....how quaint." :mrgreen:
