Christie's Auction House gets Star Trek Props 87
circletimessquare writes "A New York Times reporter was granted access to the trove of 40 years of Star Trek props that Christie's, the auction house, is cataloguing for auction in October. 'The stuff of "Star Trek' — uniforms, communicators and other props, including pointy rubber ears — has boldly gone to a place where the intrepid crew never took the Enterprise: the Bronx.' For an opening bid of $1,000 to $1,500, you can own an original tribble. 'It's an Auction, Jim, but Not as We Know It.'"

"Ms. Elkies was not a major 'Star Trek' fan before she started to organize the sale. She got her baptism in 'Star Trek' mania when she went to a convention in Germany in May. "The funny part was, I couldn't always tell if it was German or Klingon that they were speaking," she said."

Um, you don't need dilithium crystals to run Windows Vista. It runs on a quantum singularities emitted by Bill Gates' bank account. You're thinking of OS/2 Warp.
