Yes, an unused Microsoft Bob Frisbee was buried in one of my closets. Wow. Priceless collectible. Yes?

    It’s always Christmas at John’s house. :-)

    Worth a few bucks on ebay, I bet.

    Only if BoB was used to design it :-}

    Of course you could always say hundreds of screaming BoB CDs were melted to form this one of a kind object d’art.

    John, Give me $5 and I’ll get rid of it for you. Otherwise, donate it to Pedro to upgrade his dinnerware.

    eBay it so the proceeds go to No Agenda! And the bid winner, if it’s over $1000, becomes a knight if he isn’t already.

    Hmm, looks more like a plastic plate than a true frisbee.

    I bet you cannot buy a single mp3 online with what you’d get from that sale.

    #6 Low wit day, huh?

    Wow – I have a BOB coffee mug that I picked up years ago on a display sale from the company that made them for MSFT. If these things are actually worth something, perhaps I should stop using it for coffee :)

    As I recall, John, you were rather smitten with BOB at the time…and for a while afterwards. It was just too bad it ended up on the first-day-back-after-a-three-day-drunk pile…

    Absolutely worth something, John! No doubt it has the same value as Microsoft Bob does.

    Try it on eBay. It is worth what someone will pay for it.

    Although I never used it, I thought “Bob” was a good concept. (I was the only one!)

    “Windows” is a flawed metaphor for computing. Worse, Microsoft mixes metaphors — who in the real world opens up a window on their desktop to access a file folder?

    I better metaphor would be something in the real world that relates to what you are doing. A library or an office, for example. This is what Bob did, right?
