Wasn't the defence array something from a guest strip?

Is it cold in here?:
EDIT: What if Momo is still so pleased to have fingers that she just wants to use them wherever possible, even if it's something inefficient like typing into another computer?
Tova:
My take on it is; just because she's a computer, it doesn't mean that she has word processing facilities installed.

There's actually a collection of reasons (which does include the aforementioned security concerns but also includes personal paranoia on the part of some of the cyborgs and also the simple inability to afford the tech required to do it the other way) why some people prefer to type, which actually makes it more realistic as far as I'm concerned - just as there is no one reason why ASCII became the de facto standard for text transmission and then stayed the standard for twenty years and still exists despite ostensibly being replaced by Unicode.
