Happy Birthday HAL!


According to This Day in History, from the Computer History Museum, the HAL 9000 Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic Computer was activated.

"Good afternoon, gentlemen. I am a HAL 9000 computer. I became operational at the H.A.L. plant in Urbana, Illinois on the 12th of January 1992. My instructor was Mr. Langley, and he taught me to sing a song. If you'd like to hear it I can sing it for you."
