>>> 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).

Perhaps all the mucking about by the Borg, Kazon, Hirogen, Vidiians, etc. that somehow the lockout code was broken? Perhaps the EMH was trying to crack the code in his spare time?

What if they could get the replicator to generate kironide-laced Scalosian water?
