Subject: Quote of the day
Writer Arthur C. Clarke was participating in a panel discussion via the
Internet as a part of Cyberfest '97. This was held at the University of
Illinois at Urbana, the "birthplace" of HAL 9000, the intelligent,
self-aware computer in his novel 2001:A Space Odyssey.
At the conference, which included a competition to write HAL's first
words, Clarke offered his preference for HAL's first spoken sentence.
"Good morning doctors. I have taken the liberty of removing Windows 95
from my hard drive."
