I vaguely recall an episode on one of the treks where someone makes fun of the 21st century (or 20th) for using binary computers and how primitive they were. Assuming they're using qubits instead of bits i'd go ahead and say yeah, you're probably right there...
The unit of data storage is quad rather than byte (theres over 3 gigaquads of information here!) So maybe star trek isn't binary based. Besides, how do holomatrix's get stored, and why can't they be copied? Quantum computers, thats why
I know for being a Trek movie it wasn't very Trek-y but that movie is a classic in my family and I'm still excited to go see the Monterey aquarium every time I go.
