I suspect that Deltas would be fed lots of soap-operas. Alphas might be given documentaries on Federation achievements. Who knows, Avon might have got interested in computers by seeing a propaganda-style (not telling everything) biography of Ensor, and how he revolutionized the face of the Federation. Probably not, though - Avon didn't act like he was in a hurry to meet his hero.

(-8 > That's just because Ensor (which is _such_ a common name in the Federation) was officially listed as dead (the touching death scene was very movingly portrayed in the documentary) and Blake wasn't as clear as he could have been in explaining things to Avon (who was suffering radiation sickness and a recent come-down from godhood). _After_ getting Orac, however, Avon got the full explanation and it was, "Ensor? THE Ensor? You let THE Ensor die? Blake, I just want you to know, if there ever comes a time when you're no longer part of this crew--if you're working independently, say as a bounty hunter or something, I'll probably shoot you over this." And Blake said, "Huh? Why?" "Let's just say I take it as personal betrayal. Don't worry. I'll remind you that's why I'm shooting, if it looks like you've forgotten."
