>> A number of years later, by the time "Star Trek: Deep Space 9" and "Star Trek: Voyager" start, common computer capacities are quoted to be "gigaquads". By the end of the run of "Star Trek: Voyager" they're talking about "billions of teraquads" (which brings up the question -- how did they manage to upgrade the ship's computers anyway? It's not as if they could've gone to nearest starbase for upgrade).

Wait, wait... how did they pay for it? And how did the software receive the keys?
