Computer Sales Specialist Interview
interviewed at Best Buy in November 2014.
When I first got there, you have to ask the person who greets everyone that you're there for an interview. Then they call their supervisors and you wait til you get called. I had my first interview in a room in front of the checkout lanes. The first question I was asked was why I was interested in best buy. Then I was asked about my past work experiences dealing with people. What are my strengths, weaknesses. How do you work with a teammates etc. After my interview ended they called me later that day for a second interview which I had with the store manager. The second interview was almost the same as the first with the questions asked but I was asked about my prior work experience and asked to explain what I do. This interview took place in the home theatre section of the store. Basically once you get to this second interview you are basically offered the job. All is left if you are able to meet their hourly demands as I learned that you can't get a M-F 9-5 job and the work schedule is usually flexible and never fixed.
- Why best buy? Answer Question
- What are your strengths and weaknesses? Answer Question

Computer Sales Specialist InterviewApplication Details
I applied online. The process took a week – interviewed at Best Buy.Interview Details
Pretty standard process. You apply for a position online, then they call you up for an interview. Usually you go through two interviews. One with the manager, then another one with the GM. The interview questions weren't out of the ordinary. They mostly ask you hypothetical/experience questions such as "talk about a time when a customer acted rude. How did you react?". They don't really ask a whole lot of questions about your product knowledge. They might ask about your experience with technology, but they won't go into great detail.Interview Questions

Seagate ThunderBolt Adapters
August 8, 2012
A few weeks ago I wrote an article about Seagate's thunderbolt drive adapters working with regular SATA drives of SSD drives. These Thunderbolt adapters are listed to work with their GoFlex line of portable hard drives, but here Carl Pendle from www.carlpendle.com shares a video showing that it does indeed work directly with a few other bare drives [Thanks Carl]. For more information, you can find that original article about these Seagate Thunderbolt adapters (here).
If you have to share files, or even edit from an external drive, you can't beat the speeds of Thunderbolt, but options have been very expensive. The SeaGate adapters seem to be the best bet right now allowing you to expand by just purchasing more off the shelf drives.

I bought one of the goflex adapters (the full one, not the mini one) and it works like a dream with my 256 Sandisk Extreme SSD. The reviews on the mini one were very negative, but the full one had WAY more positives.
Also, it should be worth noting, that there wil be some new DROBOS coming out very soon with Thunderbolt, so it looks like we're on the cusp of a lot more drive options soon!
August 8th, 2012 at 10:32 am
I've been using the LaCie eSATA – thunderbolt adapter with cheap HDD bays, speeds are the same, price is similiar, and you get to plug more media

Also saw this option today. It looks a bit DIY to get it opened up, but once you swap out the hdd for an ssd and close it up I think it will look a little more finished and portable than the goflex adaptor.
August 11th, 2012 at 9:59 am
I wonder if/how you can run a drive/adapter and a non thunderbolt external monitor?
I already have issues with my FireWire dock daisy chaining drives, I could only imagine it would get worse with mixed uses on same port/cord.

I used to work at a small college.. We'd have bandwidth problems, I'd check the logs (ntop is very handy for this) and then look up the IP/MAC. Trace it to the nearest access point, walk into the cafeteria, see two students with laptops out. One of them, sitting far back in the corner so nobody could see their screen..
It would scare the shit out of them when I'd walk up to them and just stay "please stop, or I will have to disable your access until you talk to the director of IT about our acceptable use policy" They could never quite figure out how I knew it was them..
Um, no, they can't. They kindof have to use that one. Especially if they live in the dorms.

Let's be honest, in a fast paced-world we all want the most "bang for our buck." And when it comes to cardio workouts this same mentality applies as we search for the most time-efficient way to burn the most calories. So what piece of cardio equipment will elicit the best results? The answer is there isn't one in particular. Essentially it is the intensity that you work at and the duration of your session that will be the primary factors in dictating the overall effectiveness of your cardio session.
Interval training
To maximize your cardio sessions, consider interval training. Interval training is defined as short, high-intensity exercise periods alternated with periods of rest. So instead of hopping on a piece of cardio equipment for 30 minutes and performing your workout at the same speed for the entire session, try mixing it up one day with periods of sustained higher intensity exercise followed by a return to lower aerobic intensities used as a recovery period. There are a variety of approaches to interval training, for example you may opt to utilize, including a 1:1 exercise to recovery ratio (e.g. run for 2 minutes then walk for minutes) or a 1:2 ratio (e.g., cycling for 2 minutes at a higher intensity followed by a 4 minute recovery period of cycling at a lower intensity). Interval training can be used by novice exercises and elite athletes alike by simply adjusting the intensity and/or the rest-to-recovery ratio accordingly to meet the needs and current ability level of the exerciser. Research continues to emerge regarding the benefits of interval training, and more recently the researched benefits of high-intensity interval training.
When it comes to equipment, the best suggestion is to choose a mode of activity that you enjoy, as you'll be more inclined to stick with your regular workouts long-term. To combat boredom and also to reap the benefits that cross-training provides, try completing your cardio workouts on several different pieces of equipment, either within one workout session or from one session to the next. Below are some popular cardio equipment options you may consider incorporating into your cardio program-
At the end of the day, the effectiveness of your cardio workout truly boils down to how hard you work, which you can control on just about any piece of cardio equipment by changing the level or resistance you are working at, or by simply picking up your pace. Also keep in mind that cardio does not have to be a form of activity that you dread. Considering mixing up your cardio workouts with some fun activities, such as hiking, swimming or dancing, or consider integrating technology in to your indoor cardio sessions by listening to music or by using a heart rate monitor or pedometer to track your progress.

Back to traveling as we are a little older...
Traveling By Car
When taking a road trip...and staying in hotels, try placing your clothes in a clothes basket in the trunk instead of a large suitcase. Carry a rolling backpack into the hotel each night with the necessary items for getting on the road the next morning saves a lot of lugging of luggage.
It is easy to take into the room whether for one night or a couple of nights. When traveling to a place for an extended stay, have the bellman take the luggage, cooler, etc., to the room. Carry dirty laundry and unneeded items back to the car each day leaving less to carry at checkout.
When Flying, Book Into Smaller Airports
When flying, long lines, crowds, full parking lots and holiday travel can all be stressful. Check out some of the smaller airports. It is a lot less stressful to leave from a small airport then to drive to a large city...load the luggage onto a shuttle and ride to the airport. At smaller airports it is easier to drop other passengers and luggage right in front of the airport and park the car. The same goes for the destination. Instead of Orlando, fly into Sanford Orlando Airport. Consider taking the train or the bus as both offer senior discounts.
Pack Extra Medications and Other Tips
Always pack a couple of extra days of medication in case there is bad weather or some kind of delay. It is always good to leave the itinerary with a relative or friend.
Make sure someone knows you are safe. Have a cell phone, know how to use it and leave it turned on and fully charged.
Avoid getting sick. In public make sure your hands are washed with hot soapy water. Carry hand sanitizer, especially on the crowded planes. Ask your doctor about the preventative medications and if they are right for you.
There are germs lurking in those planes, trains and hotels but, there is a good time to be had and no matter what limitations there are, travel can be managed and enjoyable. Go see the country it is beautiful with many exciting places to visit...!

Insurance Coverage for Advertising Injury: Allstate Held to Have No Duty to Defend or Indemnify Against Allegations of False Advertising
Indianapolis, Indiana - An insurance attorney for Allstate Insurance Company of Northbrook, Illinois ("Allstate") filed a Motion for Summary Judgment in the Southern District of Indiana. Allstate asked the court to declare that it had no duty to defend or indemnify the defendants in a putative class action lawsuit proceeding against the defendants in the Middle District of Georgia. The Indiana court ruled against Defendants Preferred Financial Solutions, Inc. ("PFS") of Indianapolis, Indiana; Credit Card Relief, Inc. ("CCR") of Indianapolis, Indiana; Jeffery Brooks, President of PFS and CCR of Zionsville, Indiana and Thomas P. Dakich, d/b/a Dakich & Associates, of Indianapolis, Indiana.
This lawsuit concerns Allstate's obligations to the defendants with respect to a class action lawsuit filed in Georgia against the defendants and others (the "underlying litigation"). The complaint in the underlying litigation, filed by the underlying plaintiffs, alleges that the defendants are interrelated entities that collectively comprise a debt-adjustment-services operation that targets financially troubled customers and extracts fees for worthless services.
In this litigation, which the underlying plaintiffs are attempting to classify as a class action, it is alleged that the defendants promote themselves in print, on the internet, and in broadcast media as a provider of debt-settlement services, debt-elimination services and debt-reduction services. The underlying plaintiffs contend that the defendants never made any attempts to pay or settle the debts of at least some members of the putative class.
The defendants tendered the complaint to Allstate for defense, asserting that the claims in the underlying litigation triggered potential coverage as a covered peril - an "advertising injury" - under the provisions of their insurance contracts with Allstate.
This issue - whether Allstate's contract for insurance coverage for an "advertising injury" required them to defend and indemnify the defendants - was submitted to the Indiana District Court. Allstate moved for judgment as a matter of law, asserting that the conduct at issue did not qualify as an advertising injury. It contended that it thus had no duty to provide a defense in the underlying litigation.
Under the terms of the insurance agreement, an "advertising injury" was defined in the insurance contract as an "injury arising out of one or more of the following offenses:
1. Oral or written publication of advertising material that slanders or libels a person or organization or disparages a person's or organization's goods, products or services;
2. Oral or written publication of advertising material that violates a person's right to privacy;
3. Misappropriation of advertising ideas or style of business; [and/or]
4. Infringement of copyright, title or slogan as a result of your advertising."
Excluded from coverage was "[a]ny advertising injury arising out of...[i]ncorrect description of or mistake in advertised price of goods, products or services sold, offered for sale or advertised."
The Indiana court, in an opinion written by Magistrate Judge Debra McVicker Lynch, noted that there had been no allegation of defamation, violation of privacy, misappropriation of advertising ideas or infringement of intellectual property in defendants' advertising. As a result, the court concluded that no "advertising injury," as it was defined in the insurance contract, had occurred. As that holding was dispositive, the court did not reach the issue of whether the exclusion to coverage for "incorrect description" would have applied. As no coverage was found to exist, Allstate was determined to have neither the duty to defend nor to indemnify the defendants.
Practice Tip:
Exclusions to coverage in insurance policies are narrowly construed. However, it seems likely that, had the court not disposed of this matter as not fitting within the definition of "advertising injury," it would have instead concluded that there was no coverage upon construing the exclusion for "incorrect description" of goods or services offered.
In contrast, businesses sued for defamation, invasion of privacy, misappropriation of advertising ideas and/or infringement of intellectual property, would be wise to consult their commercial general liability insurance policies to evaluate whether such an advertising injury is considered a covered peril.

After lots and lots and LOTS of pondering what to do with the corridor kitchen in our 1916 home, I've come up with the following plan which will hopefully meet my needs (function) and some desires (new appliances) without costing a fortune (a complete tear out and replace):
* Repaint the existing solid wood cabinets and replace all the drawer boxes and install new drawer runners (they're wood on wood at the moment).
* Replace the red/orange laminate countertops (a la mid-80's) with something stone/rock-like in appearance(e.g., Corian "Rosetta" or a laminate) on one side of the kitchen and use a piece of marble I found in the basement on the other side of the kitchen (with stove and sink).
Remove the existing 1980s wallpaper and paint the walls.
Replace the existing 1980s range and dishwasher.
Remove tracking and shelves on one wall (for food storage) and install rack for pots and pans.
Is there a preferred order of such things? E.g., do you start with painting the walls then the cabinets? Do you install the countertop or paint the walls first?
Thanks very much for your advice!

Goeun Park: Letter to younger self: Future is OK
Three years ago, a teacher made the class write a letter to ourselves in the future. That future was last week.
Back in ninth grade, I was even more sentimental than I am today, so the letter sounded like a script from a bad soap opera. Back in ninth grade, I was also legitimately afraid that I wouldn't graduate high school. In fact, the first line of the letter cleverly states, "I guess if you're reading this, you made it. Graduation!"
Oh, sweet me from the past. I made it.

The Office of Personnel Management sent approximately 300 semifinalists in the Presidential Management Fellows program two contradictory e-mail messages — one saying they were not finalists and one saying they were, Federal Times reports.
An administrative error caused the automated notification system to send incorrect responses to about a quarter of the semifinalists, according to a statement by Angela Bailey, OPM's associate director of employee services. The program office caught the error the next day and sent a new message to the 300 applicants who had incorrectly been told they were finalists, according to Federal Times.
The program awards two-year paid fellowships at federal agencies to students with advanced degrees. At the end of two years, fellows can become full-time employees.

[57] ABSTRACT A mechanical breakup aerosol valve button or actuator with an annular feed chamber which feeds passageways leading into a central swirl chamber immediately ahead of the forward portion of a cylindrical terminal orifice feed post which includes a centrally disposed cavity formed in the face thereof and immediately behind a recessed terminal orifice contained within a terminal orifice which cooperate to produce a homogeneous spray pattern.
15 Claims, 9 Drawing Figures PATENTEI] JAN 1 5 I974 FIG.7
Flee MECHANICAL BREAKUP AEROSOL SPRAYER BUTTON BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION 1. Field of the Invention This invention relates to a mechanical breakup button or actuator for an aerosol valve and more particularly to a button or actuator including an annular feed chamber which feed passageways which lead to a central swirl chamber immediately ahead of a feed post having a cavity formed therein which cooperate with a terminal orifice to produce a homogeneous spray pattern.
2. Description of the Prior Art There are numerous designs for mechanical breakup buttons or actuators for aerosol valves. Generally, such buttons or actuators comprise structures specifically configured to impart a swirling action to the product prior to leaving the terminal orifice such that the emitted product is actually mechanically-broken-up into a fine mist as it is dispensed outwardly from the terminal orifice in a predetermined spray pattern. Such mechanical breakup buttons and actuators have been widely employed commercially in conjunction with a variety of products. A survey of these reveals, however, that considerable room for improvement remains.
In addition, the swirling action generated during the breakup of the product usually produces an annular or hollow cone shaped spray pattern. In many instances the production of a solid or homogeneous spray pattern is desired. However, this design goal is not available with most existing simple mechanical breakup buttons or actuators.
Thus, a need exists for a mechanical breakup button of simple construction capable of producing a solid or homogeneous pattern.
SUMMARY OF THE INVENTION This invention relates to a valve button or actuator for an aerosol valve having a substantially vertical discharge passageway formed therein leading to a terminal orifice insert recess formed in the side wall thereof. The vertical passageway may be contained within the body of the valve .button with an enlarged lower recess to receive the customary valve stem or it may extend at its lower end into a tube which inserts into the valve. A cup shaped terminal orifice insert is inserted into the insert recess where it surrounds a post disposed in the upper portion of the valve stem recess.
The cup shaped terminal orifice insert has a stepped terminal for controlling the spray rate and the spray pattern; the smaller, inner diameter portion controlling the spray rate, the larger, outer diameter portion controlling the spray pattern. Since the stepped orifice is recessed away from the exterior face-of the insert, there is very little chance of nicking the edge thereof during assembly or shipping. This further insures a high degree of spray pattern quality. Of course, the terminal orifice may be straight or tapered rather than stepped.
The insert may also include four swirl producing passageways which lead to a central swirl chamber that is formed when the insert is press fitted around the post.
A centrally disposed cavity is formed in the forward face of the post immediately behind the central swirl chamber.
The inside surface of the insert may also include a plurality of fillets which cooperate with the post to antomatically center the terminal orifice insert with respect to the post during assembly.
In operation with an aerosol valve, the button or actuator is depressed to cause pressurized product to move vertically upward into and through the discharge passageway. It is then forced forwardly about the base of the feed post toward and through the annular feed groove formed between the terminal orifice insert and the post into the chordal passageways and into the central swirl chamber. This flow imparts a rotational, centrifugal movement to the product. As the product flows forward through the swirl chamber, the stepped terminal orifice which has a reduced diameter relative to the swirl chamber, generates a back pressure forcing the produce rearwardly into the cavity formed in the face of the feed post. The cavity tends to break up the centrifugal flow of the product. The product is then forced forward through the vortex of the swirling product in the swirl chamber and out the terminal orifice in a forward motion rather than the customary rotational motion thereby producing a homogeneous or solid spray pattern. It should be noted that simply by changing the shape and relative dimensions of the cavity, the coarseness and spray pattern may be changed.
Since the smaller diameter portion of the orifice governs the spray rate and the larger diameter portion of the orifice governs the spray pattern, one can customize the spray rate and pattern for'any particular product merely by changing the terminal orifice insert.
The passageways and orifices of many existing mechanical breakup button tend to become clogged with dried product deposits due to the complex structure. Thus, it is preferable that the passageways leading into the swirl chamber are chordal at about a 20 angle. This causes new product to be sprayed over any solidified product residue remaining in the swirl chamber from previous use without shearing the residue loose from the swirl chamber. Thus, the residue is retained and subsequently dissolved by the new liquid product. This substantially reduces clogging of the passages and orifices.
This invention accordingly comprises the features of construction, combinations of elements and arrangement of parts which will be exemplified in the construction hereinafter set forth, and the scope of the invention will be indicated in the claims.
BRIEF DESCRIPTION OF THE DRAWINGS For a fuller understanding of the nature and objects of the invention, reference should be had to the following detailed description taken in connection with the accompanying drawing in which:
FIG. 1 is a cross-sectional side view of the valve button with the terminal orifice insert contained therein.
FIG. 2 is a cross-sectional side view of the feed post.
FIG. 3 is a front view of the feed post.
FIG. 4 is a cross-sectional view of the terminal orifice insert taken along line 4-4 of FIG. 1 showing the chordal passageways leading to the central swirl chamber.
FIGS. 5 through 8 are detail front views of alternate embodiments of the feed post cavity.
FIG. 9 is a front view of an alternative embodiment of the feed post.
Similar references characters refer to similar parts throughout the several view of the drawings.
DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE PREFERRED EMBODIMENT As shown in FIG. 1, the valve button, generally indicated at 10, enlarged at its lower end to receive a male stem 18 from the valve, comprises a button body 12 and a cup shaped terminal orifice insert 14. In this embodiment the discharge passageway comprises a valve 16 which receives the stem 18 of the aerosol valve 20 (shown only in outer form detail). Immediately above and substantially concentric with valve stem recess 16 is a smaller rectangular swirl chamber feed recess 22. A circular support rim 24 is formed by reduced diameter of recess 22 relative to recess 16 whereby button body 12 cooperatively engages and seals with the valve stem 18. An additional seal means may be used on rim 24, if desired.
A circular recess 26 designed to house the terminal orifice insert 14 is formed in the side wall 28 of the button 10 and extends inwardly to the recess 22. Affixed to the body 12 adjacent recess 22 in the rear portion of the recess 26 is a cylindrical terminal orifice feed post 30. A centrally disposed cavity 32 if formed in the forward face 34 of post 30. The rectangular recess extending above and below the feed post 30 cooperates with the post to form two product feed channels 31 and 33. Obviously, more feed channels can be provided.
The cup shaped terminal orifice insert 14, when press fitted into recess 26, completely covers the opening thereof formed in the side wall 28. An annular feed chamber 36 is formed on the inner end of the insert 14 and surrounds the forward portion of post 30.
As best shown in FIG. 4, a plurality of fillets 38 (usually four, although more or less may be used) center the terminal orifice 40 of the insert 14 relative to the post 30. These fillets 38 automatically center the insert 14 during automatic high speed assembly. The terminal orifice insert 14 includes a stepped orifice 40 comprising a smaller diameter rate controlling portion 42 and a larger diameter spray pattern controlling portion 44. Of course, the terminal orifice may comprise a straight or tapered configuration. The insert 14 may have four (although more or less may be used) swirl producing passageways 46 formed therein. When in position, the terminal orifice insert 14 cooperates with the post 30 to form the annular feed groove 36, as well as central swirl chamber 50 inward of the passageways 46. A smoothing chamber 52 is formed between the swirl chamber 50 and the stepped terminal orifice 40. As shown in FIG. 1, the smoothing chamber 52 may comprise a substantially conical shape to funnel the product into the stepped orifice 40.
Alternatively, as shown in FIG. 9, the chordal swirl producing passageway 35 may be formed in the face of post 37 to feed a central swirl chamber 39 having a centrally disposed cavity 32 therein.
Orifice insert 14 may also include an anchoring ring 56 on its outer surface which corresponds to an annular slot 58 in recess 26 to firmly lock the insert 14 in place. As best shown in FIG. 3 and FIGS. 5 through 8, the cavity 32 may comprise any one of several configurations. Specifically, FIG. 3 shows a conically shaped cavity 64, FIG. 5 shows a pyramid shaped cavity 60, FIG. 6 shows a triangular shaped cavity 62, FIG. 7 shows a conically shaped cavity 66 including a plurality of baffles 68 and FIG. 8 shows a conically shaped cavity 66 including a plurality of baffles 68 and FIG. 8 shows a conically shaped cavity 70 including a plurality of grooves 72.v These baffles 68 or grooves 72 further upset the slack pressure of the emitted product whereby a more homogeneous spray effected.
In use, when the button 10 is depressed, pressurized produce passes upwardly through valve stem recess 16 an swirl chamber feed recess 22, via passageways 31 and 33 into annular feed groove 36. The product is then forced by the propellant through the passageways 46 into central swirl chamber 50. Since, in the preferred form, these passageways 46 are not tangential but are chordal with respect to the swirl chamber 50, the new product is sprayed over the residue remaining from previous sprayings thereby minimizing potential clogging of the valve.
The driving pressure then forces the product which now has a centrifugal movement from the swirl chamber 50 to the smoothing chamber 52. Due to the reduced diameter of the stepped orifice a back pressure forces the product rearwardly into the cavity 32 formed in the post 30 where the centrifugal How of the product tends to break up. The product is then forced forwardly through the vortex 52, and discharged through the stepped orifice 40 in a forward motion rather than the customary rotational motion thereby producing a homogeneous or solid spray pattern instead of the common funnel-like spray pattern.
By changing the shape and structure of the cavity 32, the coarseness and spray pattern may be altered. For example, the conically shaped cavity 32, FIG. 3, generates a light ring doughnut shape. The pyramid shaped cavity-60, FIG. 5, and the triangular shaped cavity 62, FIG. 6, form a heavier to solid ringed doughnut shape with only a portion of the center of the pattern open. The conically shaped cavity 66 with blades 68, FIG. 7, and the conically shaped cavity 70, including the grooves 72, FIG. 8, form a solid pattern. Further, the homogeneity of the pattern and the particle size are regulated by the number and shape of the baffles and cone angle (diameter to altitude ratio). By the introduction of various shaped terminal orifices in the insert, it is possible to form a square, rectangular, oval and other spray patterns.
The structural design just described can easily be incorporated into an actuator as well as the button to which the above description was directed.
It will thus be seen that the objects of this invention, among those made apparent from the preceding description, are efficiently attained, and since certain changes may be made in the above constructions without departing from the scope of the invention, it is intended that all matter contained in the above description or shown in the accompanying drawings shall be interpreted as illustrative and not in a limiting sense.

Mount faucet handles along curve of sink instead of in a line?
threeapplesMarch 25, 2013
The granite guy just told me they always do it this way, in an arc shape, so there is more room to use the faucet's handles. This seems bizarre to me. Any thoughts?
It's going to be more noticeable on a smaller sink, given the smaller radius of the curve. It's the right thing to do IMHO.
I did pillar faucets on my small (tiny) basement sink and had them drill the marble following the radius of the bowl.
Has anyone done the curved spread with a Kohler Caxton sink? MY granite guy didn't even ask, and when I requested in the final vanity (others too late) I was told they couldn't do it because of a flange on the sink. Disappointed because there is sooo little room between the faucet, handles, and backsplash.

Persons with disabilities (PWDs) are now guaranteed the best market for their products and services: the government.
The signing last year of the implementing rules and regulations of Executive Order 417 or the Economic Independence Program for PWDs, is key to providing sustainable livelihoods for PWDs, say advocates.
"PWDs are usually taught enough skills to engage in business, but we are left to compete in the regular market," said Emer Rojas, the sector's representative to the National Anti-Poverty Commission (NAPC), during last week's forum on sustainable development for PWDs by the Alyansa ng may Kapansanang Pinoy (AKAP-Pinoy).

The changes in the Enterprise-D bridge in Generations...

The changes in the Enterprise-D bridge in Generations...
Has there ever been an explanation given for the changes made to the 1701-D bridge in Generations? An explanation given within the fictional universe, I mean. Has it ever been addressed in a spin-off novel or something? Was there a refit/replacement of the bridge module between the series and the movie?
I know that Set Designer Herman Zimmerman made the claim at the time that they changed it to make it look more cinematic, and that we hope the viewers see it and say,
what Ive been watching for seven years or words to that effect. Which seems to imply that the
behind the change was to try and say, hey, those alterations would have been on the television version if they could have afforded it. But for me, that explanation doesnt really wash. IMO there were
storage lockers (or whatever they were) there on the sides of the bridge for seven seasons, and then suddenly there were all these new bridge terminals.
And on a related note, what
the functions of those new terminals anyway? We all know what each of the back terminals is supposed to represent (Science I, Science II, Engineering, etc), but I cant imagine what the side terminals were actually supposed to be. What are they
? Or are they simply background set dressing, no more important to the grand scheme of things than putting up some curtains?
