	I'm surprised that nobody has recalled the episode where
the enterprise rescues a group of children who's parents have been
mysteriously wiped out. The Episode name eludes me, but while on
the Enterprise the children are offered ice cream by Nurse Chapel
who is wielding a fistfull of 'cassettes'. One child reels off his
concocted delight and the Nurse selects a cassette, but when the 
kid adds an ingredient, the Nurse grabs a different cassette. The
cassettes are colored, striped, etc for uniqueness, therefore a very
cumbersome system is implied. If I decide at the last minute to add
a salad, i have to run back to my billet for a modified cassette.
