Indeed! 8^) Actually, if Starfleet parallels our our Navy/Army/etc., then
Picard will have had his shot at being navigator, engineer/chief engineer,
etc., beforehand.  For instance, in our own submarine fleet, someone on
the command track will have been both navigator and chief engineer at some
point -- these duties actually rotate among several officers over a couple of
years, so that everyone stays current (like LaForge moving from "Conn" to
Engineering, for instance.  In my mind, LaForge is definitely en route
to being a starship commander with that particular billet).

8^) Data had a rather different medium with which to work.  He had to
transmit bits of time-related particles through subspace, and kept it small
because a long message apparently had less chance of getting through
in a complete form.  Picard actually got to tap into Data's head, which
was in no danger of physically resetting the way everything did in
"Cause and Effect."

Yeah, now that *did* bother me a bit, especially since Data is the only
one having that type of processor (except Lore and Lal), and received it
sometime after Picard had graduated from the Academy...

My God!  You're even behind us in Britain - I always thought we
were way behind.  'Q Who' is about 2 series behind us, and I
think we are about 2 series behind the US.  However, there's
plenty of time to catch up - I don't think we get our next series

     Well, after digging out my trusty TNG:Technical Manual, it says the
orginal Enterprise was commisioned in 2245. First captain was Robert
April, then Christopher Pike, and then Captain Kirk. It was destroyed in
2284 while defending the Mutara sector against a Klingon excursion.
(Star Trek III) The second Enterprise, NCC-1701-A, was commisioned in
2286, which later played a vital role in the success of the Khitomer
conference. (Star Trek VI. Interesting point, I got my copy of the
Technical Manual before Star Trek VI was released)

     Anyway, this puts the TOS (with Kirk) somewhere in between 2245 and at 
least 2286.

I'm not sure about this argument, bearing in mind that Data is
supposed to have a self-learning "brain" surely he could, in a sense,
learn where he could/should use contractions?  Granted it may be a
complicated rule, but hell, he's supposed to be a complicated android!

Just a thought.

Maybe they need the ship to communicate with *any* communicator.  The
functions that the communicators were filling could be routed through
the tricorder (sp?).

This is off the subject a bit, but all of this talk of the SFC got me to
thinking "gee, it might be nice to get our cable company to carry it.
But then I thought...well, let's consider the programming that I hear
they're offering so far: re-runs of Voyage to the Bottom of the Sea,
Lost in Space, Buck Rogers, and a number of other TV sci-fi series that
pretty much stunk.  Do I really need a channel to give me these shows 24
hrs a day?

Of course, I'm leaving out a couple of worthwhile shows like "The
Prisoner" and possibly TAS.  But, on the whole, I don't think that I'm
really missing much.  There's a big difference between pulp SF/fantasy
and quality material.  From what I read in Omni, SFC seems to be
offering mostly the former.  Maybe that'll change as they become more
established.  

Any one out there getting SFC now?  What do you think so far?

If I may give my 2 cents. If you listen real close to the President (sp?) 
speech during the Federation/Klingon peace talks in ST6, you will hear the
president say something to the effect that Kronos will be evacuated in some
amount of time. This is due to enviromental problems on the planet. Therefore,
it is possible that either A, a new planet became the Klingon Homeworld, or
it was renamed after the environmental problems on the planet were fixed.
Just my 2 cents.
