I guess I can't see the HAL widget...bummer. :( Oh my goodness – all this HAL talk sounds creepy – and this is the only moment I can think of where I’ve thought, “gosh, I wish I had Vista.” I guess I can’t see the HAL widget…bummer. :(

I still don't understand some of the ones I have gotten in the "real" world and expect any day to have my computer ask me "What seems to be the problem, Dave? You seem upset."
