I am unable to answer this question, because I'm an old school computer nerd. As in, I built my first computer in 1977. At this point I'm so deeply immersed in computer nerdom I have no idea what's normal.

1983 for me, but yeah...
SeaWoodStage:
I refuse to vote, because I can't choose between Mieville and Hercules.
On another note, Faye's joking "fifteen bucks please" brought to mind something that's bugged me for a litte while. I forget how long ago it was (real time) a few months maybe? And I also forget the AI in question, except that it wasn't May. Someone came to Union Robotics for something, Faye and Bubbles fixed it (mainly Bubbles I think), the AI offered payment, and Bubbles said something like "No charge, it was an easy fix."
Which bothered me, because while it may have been an easy fix, and used no pricey parts, isn't the fact that it was an easy fix for Bubbles part of the value of their business? People do (and should) charge for their expertise, not just parts and labour. If my car needs fixing, and it turns out to be something very simple, I don't expect them to say "it took five minutes and we had the parts lying around, no charge." I expect them to charge me a reasonable amount, because they had the knowledge and skill to do something that I couldn't do myself.
Wingy:
That was Roko getting her popups turned off.
4175 - 4178. 4178 is the one with the wording you remember.
SeaWoodStage:
Thank you Wingy, yes that's the one I was thinking of.
