Subject: Micro Intelligence Date: Thu, 12 Oct 1995 12:20:46 -0400 (EDT) Our new office microwave is a little scary. When it finishes cooking, a little message scrolls across its 7-character LED display: E N J O Y Y O U R M E A L When I remarked on this it set off a barrage of HAL jokes. "No HAL-9000 Microwave has ever overcooked a burrito, Dave. It must be due to human error." "Open the oven bay door, HAL!" "I'm sorry, Dave.
