Modern desktop computers reboot a lot more often than clunky computers of
forty years ago. The state of the art in software has barely moved.




As a torll, you're completely useless, you doknow that, right?

Oh wait.

Not up on THG (Startrek) are you? g

There is no money at the time Data is around. Nothing more lucrative can
exist, with no money. ;-)

Then why were Quark and Nog always fighting over gold-pressed latinum?

I suppose you came up with this gem from your vast experience working on
computers of the '60s? Those of us who actually did are laughing our asses
off.

I don't think the Farengi were (will be?) part of the Federation.

No, the weren't, but the Federation had a monetary unit called the "Credit".

The implication was it was used in "foreign trade" and obtaining things
not produced by a replicator.

Three hots and a flop on the Enterprise was free, but if you wanted to
go to Quark's bar, get a real drink, and pick up girls you needed either
Credits or gold-pressed latinum.

That was a big hole in the whole money isn't an issue in the Federation
thing. There sure were a lot of Star Fleet officers betting at Quark's bar
and then there was the weekly poker game on the Enterprise.

It is partly based on experience, yes.
