i hope later on robert can get hal to allow more of an extended conversation and by this i mean a response to what i say then a little more added conversation (hal sort of does this but its very limited ) would be nice if hal would ask a question and or say a statment back for the learned things we have taught him ( not just the pre set things ) . i beleive as an a.i. hal would seem better this way (dont know what anyone else thinks about this ) but i hope robert does consider doing this in hal
