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. Submitted for your approval, David L. Pope Mail --> ihnp4!nwuxc!random
