    One of the local Free-to-air T.V. stations is giving us a double dose of ST:TNG each afternoon. Yesterday, one of the episodes was "Conspiracy"
    and, before the opening credits, Riker is in the Top Chair and give La
    Forge the order "Warp 6" to which La Forge responds "Eye Sir, Full
    Impulse"!!

    Really!! Warp 6 is only Full Impulse?? I know there was a change of
    scale in the Warp Speeds between ST:TOS and ST:TNG, but I was always
    under the impression Full Impulse was roughly equivalent to Warp 1.

    Have I been wrong all these years?? Or did La Forge stuff up?? Or did
    the scriptwriters stuff up??
