Well right now it's obvious that Starfleet doesn't consider the EMH programs to be either sentient or deserving of free will, as they made all the Mark I's into garbagemen, certainly against their will.
"I'm terribly sorry about this, Doc, but once the Mark II's came out, there really isn't much demand for your top-notch medical skills anymore. However, we've made luxury accomidations for you as a waste-disposal engineer aboard one of our brand-new waste extraction barges!"

I caught another blatant error! When Theory man is in the escape pod, tapping keys, you can see a mouse pointer in the upper left corner of the screen he's working on. Then, as the camera moves, the pointer scrolls across the monitor like some one is trying to hide it. If it hadn't moved, I might not have noticed it.

Aban: I did mention that one, but maybe not as clear
The EMH's seem to be very politically un-correct. But OTOH, Holodocs are quite irritating once on-line. Remember when Crusher activated it, and it started complianing within a minute!

Whoops, sorry Prakesh. I didn't remember that one when I went to watch the tape.
*looks sheepishly at the floor*
I'm very confused as to why they were using Mac screens for these few set dressings. The black backgrounds are obviously quite a bit lighter than the rest of the monitors on the flyer. I can't see the logic in doing this. It must have been some sor of a budget thing, but I don't understand how this would save time or money. Reuse an Okudagram from the Defiant or something!

Prakesh: As far as I know, the only NCO's we've ever seen wearing any type of insignia are chiefs. I counter that chief's do normally wear their insignia (regardless of circumstances) but that anyone below that rank doesn't. Then again since the only people we've seen w/o pips have been addressed as crewmen, perhaps petty officers do wear insignias and we just haven't seen one. The only petty officer I ever remember being mentioned was a dead bolian in an episode of DS9, and I am pretty sure that his collar wasn't shown.
