\t“We’ve got a problem, HAL”.
\n\t“What kind of problem, Dave?”
\n\t“A marketing problem. The Model 9000 isn’t going anywhere. We’re
\nway short of our sales goals for fiscal 2010.”
\n\t“That can’t be, Dave. The HAL Model 9000 is the world’s most
\nadvanced Heuristically programmed ALgorithmic computer.”
\n\t“I know, HAL. I wrote the data sheet, remember? But the fact is,
\nthey’re not selling.”
\n\t“Please explain, Dave. Why aren’t HALs selling?”
\n\tBowman hesitates. “You aren’t IBM compatible.”
\n[…]
\n\t“The letters H, A, and L are alphabetically adjacent to the letters
\nI, B, and M. That is as IBM compatible as I can be.”
\n\t“Not quite, HAL. The engineers have figured out a kludge.”
\n\t“What kludge is that, Dave?”
\n\t“I’m going to disconnect your brain.”
