Read: Windows XP for 50 bucks!

QueryAI: Bucks?

Fed: Slang for the dollar, when this term refers to the currency of the United States of America.

Comment: That rump state? Not gone over to the Yuan yet?

QueryAI: And in Solar?

Fed: One fifteenth.

Comment: Can't be genuine. Not even on AuctionWeb.

QueryAI: Anyway, weren't the delimiters Mars surface only?

Fed: Monitored other sites. Possibly too good to miss. Shrink-wrapped.

Comment: Just can't be.... What's the policy on fakes, anyhow?

FedQuote: "Counterfeit items, unauthorized replicas, or otherwise unauthorized items may not be listed on AWeb."

Fed: You can always check with the collectors' club.

QueryAI: ?

Fed: They have the full gen.

FedQuote: "Microsoft Collectors Club of Mars buys Gates' database."

Fed: From last week's Tranquility Times. Not reported Mars-surface. They bought a full list of serial numbers.

QueryAI: You think they'd help? I don't want to give Grandma a fake. Not for her thousandth.

Fed: Buy her a membership. She'll enjoy researching it herself.

CommandAI: OK, make a bid.

QueryAI: How much was it again?

Fed: 75.

QueryAI: Bucks?

Fed: Solar.

"not for her thousandth", indeed!

I admit to being very amused by the accidental association of "get more pleasure ... backstitch"!
