The HAL Model | | 9000 is the world's most advanced | | Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic | | computer." | | | | "I know, HAL. I wrote the data sheet, | | remember? But the fact is, they're not | | selling." | | | | "Please explain, Dave. Why aren't HALs | | selling?" | | | | Bowman hesitates. "You aren't IBM | | compatible." [...] | | | | "The letters H, A, and L are | | alphabetically adjacent to the letters | | I, B, and M. That is as IBM compatible | | as I can be." | | | | "Not quite, HAL.
