Claim 0:
1. A computer-controlled dispenser system comprising:
a first set of repositories for fluid components suitable for combination into different mixtures;
a second set of repositories for viscous components suitable for combination into different mixtures;
a dispensing nozzle where the fluid and viscous components are dispensed;
at least one set of tubing connecting both the first set of repositories and the second set of repositories to the dispensing nozzle;
at least one associated valve interposed between the first set of repositories and the dispensing nozzle, the at least one set of tubing for each of the first set of repositories being joined to a pressurization source to force the fluid components through the at least one set of tubing to the dispensing nozzle as controlled by opening and closing the at least one associated valve;
at least one pump coupled to the at least one set of tubing for each of the second set of repositories to pump the viscous components through the associated at least one set of tubing to the dispensing nozzle;
a scale for measuring an amount of fluid and viscous components dispensed from the dispensing nozzle;
wherein a control computer receives instructions for a first mixture, causes a pump of the at least one pump to pump a viscous component from one of the second set of repositories to be dispensed from the dispensing nozzle according to the instructions and opens a valve of the at least one associated valve to enable a fluid component from one of the first set of repositories to be dispensed from the dispensing nozzle according to the instructions to be combined with the viscous component to create the first mixture.
