HAL not IBM!
HAL not IBM: Just saw an interesting interview on BBC World TV with Sir Arthur C Clarke. In the interview he debunked the theory that HAL had anything to do with IBM (because of the letters). "If I had realized - I would have changed the name". But we know different - don't we! I also didn't know that Tim Berners Lee calls Sir Arthur the Godfather of the Net - because of the story "Dial F for Frankenstein", published in Playboy magazine in 1963.
