Ladies and gentlemen... what am I bid for Lot 11, the geeky, nerdy (but exceptionally intelligent) 256? Let's start the bidding at $10. Would someone like to start us off?

I know there are more geeks out there, more shipmates who don't even have to have it explained to them why 256 is the coolest of numbers. Someone out there has fond memories of the Altair 8800 and wants this number!
