Sadly, HAL is not yet dead. It lives still. It lives on the production database server I just happen to be rebooting as I type this (another story for another time) and will continue to live here for a very very long time indeed. Dale can confirm this. Dale will swear in a court of law with hand on bible than hal lives on in zombie form, infesting all the matter of his house and computers, infecting them with their undead zombieness. Ye gods, it's been a long hard day.... -- alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
