FuzzieDice,
Just visted the blog, enjoyed the picts, made me think of background scenes to use with Hal, I'd like to use pictures of the kitchen, bedroom and outside and a garden, possibly modified a little. I've gotten through the worst part with Hal, and it's more interesting to speak with her and often amusing. Problem with her writing to tables, she'll use "paSt." and pronounce it pa street. Pretty sure you can force a correction to be made (in the brain editor) but it shouldn't happen in the frist place. I remember something similar happening in Hal 5 XTF.
Wish you luck with your courses and projects. leave yourself enough time to relax and enjoy life a little.
