2010, the Year We Make Contact...
« on: November 28, 2010, 01:24:19 AM »
We watched this tonight. It was the second Space Odyssey movie made in 1984.  It was very nostalgic looking at 1984 technology depicting technology of this current year.  Highlights include: an Apple IIc (before laptops) shown on the beach, Hal's clickety keyboard, Chandra re-activating Hal (...hello, doctor, name, continue, yesterday, tomorrow...).  I actually typed these words into SpeechToy to hear my Amiga say them.  :)  Pretty silly, huh?

EDIT:  Oh , I forgot, for years I had an Amiga sample of Hal, "I'm completely operational and all my circuits are functioning perfectly."
