We have been told that a million monkeys at a million keyboards could produce the complete works of Shakespeare.  Now, thanks to the internet, we know this is not true.

O.K.  So you have a 16 MHz 386.....

so how much processing power would you need to actually build a (properly) functioning HAL 9000?
I was never here, you were never here, this conversation never took place, and you most certainly did not see me.

Whoa. hit the red button?

I didn't try that!

I didn't think there was really anything to get other than the eye and the song.  The page is a 404 page, so the button must take you back to the home page.

Oh, well it would make no sense without the song.  It's HAL singing "Daisy" as Dave is finishing pulling the chips.

FYI the voice of HAL

I remember reading that the original voice of HAL was Martin Balsam, but Kubrick dropped him because he read his lines with too much emotion.

I didn't either until I tried IE.  Still don't get the point.
