Probably.  We passed his birthday at the beginning of the year (April
1997 I think).  I wouldn't be surprised if IBM, in some secret back
laboratory, put together a supercomputer they named HAL...and nobody
will never know.

But what's this about an 8-bit graphical user interface?  This is
rediculous.  8-bits don't have the power to push pixels.  And if you
want some GUI for yours, there already are some (GEOS, Apple).  Whoever
started this string, clean up the cross-posting.  Amiga, for one, was
NEVER 8-bit!
