The following excerpt I pulled from Trekmovie site:
"Majel recorded her final voiceover as the ship's computer for J.J. Abrams upcoming Star Trek film only a few weeks ago.
It will be both appropriate and poignant to hear it. She was there at the beginning and she'll be there to be part of the launch of the new Star Trek."

Some very nice tributes by Trek stars here for Majel:

And a video by Bill...

(One footnote, Bill is wrong about Majel and her last role.  As has been said before, she did record her lines for the new movie before her passing.)

On Friday I got challenged to operate the lighting desk wearing a Star Trek uniform, the deal was if I did it I'd get Saturday night off. I did it, partly because I'd get the following night off but mostly as my own little geeky way of remembering Majel :)

(Sorry no pictures, but it was a TOS era science shirt and we have a Strand 520i console, set up with three TFT monitors and I wear a funky head set but not as cool as Uhura's.)
This question has baffled mankind for all eternity... why don't sheep shrink in the rain?

Well... I might do it again for the final show before Christmas and I'll get one of the followspots to take a picture.
