I doubt most ppl fully realize the scope of extruded foods. The only
thing newsworthy about 3D printing of food is, now the home consumer
can make a Spam burger shaped like a Harley-Davidson or a Aztec
pyramid from his computer or cell-phone. We already have wagon-wheel
pasta. Nothing new, here.

Eventually it'll be much more. Once they figure out teleportation then
food replicators aren't that far behind.

Yes I am. And think of it this way, a whole host of tech got it's start
from fictions of Star Trek. The MRI is a good example - a completely
non-invasive and non-harmful scannign tech whose inventors attribute to
their love of Star Trek.

Hey, I wasn't knocking it. I love watching the old Star Trek episodes.
There's one on tonight, as a matter of fact. Right before Svengoolie
on MeTV.

I sincerely doubt I'll live long enough to see actual food replicators.
Did you ever notice everything from the food replicators on the
Enterprise appeared in cube form? LOL

So far, the replicated food I've tried (laugh) comes in a box. Macaroni
& cheese in a blue box with cheese powder. Hamburger Helper. Deydrated
"mashed" potato flakes. Even dehydrated potato slices and faux
everything for scallopped potatoes.

Colour me silly. I've not been impressed with "replicated" food thus
far.

Persia turns her nose up at Sheba cat food. I have no idea why. The
ingredients are practically identical to Fancy Feast (FF). For a while
she ate it, then just stopped. So I switched back to FF, then tried the
Sheba again. Nope. She does love the FF beef pate. No, I don't plan
on trying it.

Because she's a cat and the rule book says she's allowed to. And you
could be in big trouble with the ruling tribunal of cats for questioning
her right to do it.

Here's a good reason for you cat lovers for getting a Roku. I ran
across an all cat all the time channel.

Actually most of the Star Trek ideas were borrowed
from older books, very few were original. But that's
OK and does not detract from the series.

MRI predates Star Trek. It started life as NMR,
nuclear magnetic resonance, the name being changed to
avoid the word nuclear,

Sorry. I'm a dedicated cat person, I'm owned by three of the little
beasts, but if that's the only reason for buying a streamer box, I'll
pass...

I certainly do not watch it, but since I already pay for broadband,
it's better than paying extra for satellite TV, of which I have none.
I got it so my mom could watch my Netflix programs on her TV. If I'd
known some TVs now have built in digital media receivers (DMR), I'd
have bought one of those instead of a Roku and an mid-size HDTV.

Meanwhile, I've since discovered digital media streaming to be far
more extensive than I previously realized. I now stream two national
news stations, PBS, several free movie sources, and more. It's not a
$100 mo satellite TV acct, but it also doesn't have 20 mins of
commercial for every hour of viewing time. I may even ditch Netflix
and its accompanying bill.
