Right.... But, as originally suggested, the angle was a little different on the human/machine vibe: Were 'Hal' in our modern world, he would probably be like the 'Howard Hughes of computers', constantly fretting about catching a computer virus, trojan program, having a root kit left inside him, etc. :-) That might make for a funny premise: a paranoid 'super computer' too afraid of viruses and infections to interact with humans any more! <ggg> (All rights reserved, Buddy.) (PPS - we could have 'Hal' working for / owned by or contracted by Halliburton.)
