The graphic on this PADD was originally created for ÒFamilyÓ (TNG) 
when Picard reviewed staffing requirements while the ship was docked at 
Earth Station McKinley. Naturally, the names of everyone in the Planetary 
Geosciences Division were drawn from the Star Trek: The Next Generation 
production company.

	Guy Vardaman, who among other things occasionally plays a crew 
member seen in the background of scenes in the Enterprise corridors, says 
that he and his fellow extras sometimes refer to PADDs as Òhall passes.Ó The 
acronym PADD was suggested by Star Trek research consultant Richard 
Arnold during the early days of the series.  Æ
