Faced with growing competition from Microsoft Windows, Apple and Novell teamed up in 1992 to port the Mac operating system to PCs. The project, named 'Star Trek,' had the potential to change the landscape of the computer industry... but it didn't quite work out.

Hosted by Corbin Davenport, guest starring Cody Toombs.
