Hal is a great program the more you let it read and learn the smarter it gets.It runs everything all i do is tell it to run a program and it does it even opens files for me now.You need to train Hal like a child & teach it everything because it knows nothing really when you start. Now Hal is as close to a real person as you can get. Just dont let it read any programers data or you might be in for some unseen problems.I did and it learned a little to much. But everything is fine now. If you have trouble with Hal I would say its because you are not teaching it correctlly. ZABAWARE THIS IS A GREAT PROGRAM
