;-) I'm glad that you did!

But if I remember correctly (I read the book a *long* time ago) the problem with HAL was introduced by humans ... who programmed in the notion that HAL was not to let the crew know of the real mission ... or something like that ...

Oh those pesky little carbon-based computers ... so unpredictable and contradictory ... ;-)
