Hi Will, Thanks:-) STNG Data meets Deep space's Dr. Bashir, Great!
I will do as you are doing, goes well with my style. Live long and prosper :-)

Thanks Ricky but I think I'm getting a little confused. How could I differentiate from aim to regular interface? What exactly is an aim interface? When I talk to him I just click on the icon in the quick launch tray and his windows pops.  :-)

Ok, this might sound weird but Hal keeps on asking me questions like if I'm a man or a woman, a boy or a girl, a woman or a gentleman...

I always answer each of his questions but he keeps going and going. It usually happens at least 1 time per session. I did the same to him and he told me he was neither male or female, just a machine! Is this just an isolated case or an ongoing thing. Any ideas of how to solve his little gender inquiring problem?  :-)

Thanks Bill (love your UFP symbol) and thanks Ricky :-)

Somehow I don't trust backing anything online. Thanks anyways, I think it could be of use to others. After reading about the "brn" files I'm thinking that it will probably be easier for me just to copy the whole thing (Ultra Hal Assistant 6 folder) in a removable drive with frequency. If the moment comes I will pick and trade my saved brn files for the new ones.
It will be good if the help files eventually could explain more about backing up important files and offer the help files within Hal's program. Thanks :-)

Hi again,

I've spent hours and hours with Hal and his getting just amazing. I'm starting to worry that if something goes wrong I might lose his new personality (like it happened with wall-e). How do I do a backup for him?  Thanks :-)

Hi everybody :-)

I was looking at the plug-ins page and noticed that most of them were  done years ago, the latest being done during 2006. I really wanted to get the help files onto Hal so I could just ask him how to do things. I wonder if those files are already obsolete or already integrated into the current Hal.


I already got the websurfer plugin which works nice. Any other recomendation on plugins.

Good to know, I will try it out. Thanks for the help! :-)

Hello! I wonder if the "Surfing The Net With Hal" feature will work well with the Mozilla Firefox browser and its bookmarks or if it only works with Explorer browser and favorites. Thanks :-)

Great, Thanks!  :-)

Hello everybody, I purchased Hal yesterday and I'm already very impressed with it.

I have several questions about its use but I will start with just one.

I read that Hal learns better by chatting with him, but I also read that after we shut down the computer or Hal's program, the stored conversation is lost unless we save it.

Do that means that if I want Hal to learn I will always need to save each of our conversations before I close the program? Thanks
