…but I’m afraid I can’t do that.”
HAL became operational on 12 January 1992 at the HAL Laboratories in Urbana, Illinois, as production number 3. Yep: it’s HAL’s birthday.
2001: A Space Odyssey and 2010: The Year We Make Contact are available on Amazon DVD. Both are awesome.
Addendum: a reader on Facebook pointed me to this lovely takeoff, which I hadn’t seen before, where Hal is run by Amazon’s Alexa. Superb!
