"First, welcome to the forum!"
Thank you.
"I can't tell you about the CD since mine was a download."
Perhaps there is someone here who can. It's important that I know the difference here. Does activation cost extra? If I move the program from one computer to another, how much does that cost in activation fees? Is there no activation fee with the purchase of the CDROM?
"The home page about Hal describes a lot of the things that Hal can do."
I have read the homepage but it doesn't answer any of my questions.
"There is a downloadable manual that was written for Hal 5 and most of it works pretty much the same."
Where is this manual? I can't find it.
"Hal 6 is by far, a more advanced, expandable, database oriented program as opposed to the previous version. I think it's on the plug-ins page."
It would be nice if I could play chess with it... sort of like that talking computer on the Enterprise. Maybe someday.
"Ask Hal to find or search for gophers or What is the weather like in ____ or Where is Toronto?"
I know. But I was wondering if Hal could open websites that are saved in favorites.
"You can save the text (chat log) and load it into any number of wav or mp3 converters ( a lot of free ones are out there)."
I have Creative WaveStudio installed on my computer but I don't know how to get it to work with Hal.
"Is Hal's name related to 2001? Only if you want it to be!"
Hopefully there isn't a problem with Copywrite. There is another Hal program on the Internet that sings "Daisy" and has an image of the HAL computer that was used in the movie. Unfortunately, this program is extremely limited with the type of tasks that can be performed.
Thanks. I appreciate your answers.
