The cool gadgetry on the classic TV series has made dreamers drool since the first time Captain Kirk barked the words “Beam me up, Scotty!” into his little black box and snapped it shut. —Holly J. Wagner —Star Trek Phone Set to Thrill (Wired)

Kirk said “One to beam up,” or “Energize,” or all sorts of variations.
