What is the social/ethical/legal status of AnthroPCs?
Border Reiver:
It's kind of hard to imagine anyone else from that era having done those roles.
Although it would have been a humourous to have had Shatner and Lorne Greene switch their Kirk/Adama roles.
Is it cold in here?:
What happens to AnthroPCs when they become obsolete? Do people toss their friends in the recycle bin, or give them away to luckless charities, or what?
bicostp:
Maybe they can just buy a new chassis and transfer their personality data? That worked for Winslow in the "Hannelore's Robo-Trainer-Boyfriend" arc.

They return to the Mother Computer.
raoullefere, I suddenly had this image of Jack Lord, after they've captured the Klingons, saying "Book 'em Spocko."
:-D
raoullefere:
I think I remember Shatner saying 'Spocko' in 'A Piece of the Action.'
As for anthropcs, my guess is that owners who treasure their plastic pals (who are fun to be with) go through chassis, while those who don't do a security wipe before properly disposing of the obsolete unit. If they're actually silly enough to want another one.
I'm assuming it's not possible to be the 'old lady with cats,' only with dozens of anthropcs instead.
