Narrative:
On takeoff roll the flying copilot's (me) airspeed indicator displayed erroneous speed and froze approaching 80 KTS. I called out no airspeed at 80 KTS and captain performed a rejected takeoff. We taxied clear and returned to blocks. We had numerous FMC issues and electrical glitches prior to taxi out. Both FMC's were deferred prior to flight. Reject was uneventful.
