So, GO says, "I'm sorry Winston, I'm afraid I can't do that"
Winston, "Do what"
Go, "Go there! "

So, if HAL was actually IBM shifted one letter to the left them if
you
shift HP one letter to the left you have "GO". So, I guess the computer in
your story is named GO.

2001 is the year that the new hp announced EOL for the 3000. This list has
seen posts discussing the underlying mythology of 2001, the movie. How about
2001 as a metaphor for the discontinuance of MPE? They misunderstand HAL,
and tried to kill it, even though there are those who cannot live without
it. That would make CSY the ship, right? I guess this would make Winston
Prather our Dave. Isn't it in 2010 that they bring HAL back to life?
If we can avoid the usual bitterness and vitriole, we could probably have
quite a bit of fun with this idea...
