Howdy,
i'm wondering when you first got hal "date of purchase"
are you teaching the same hal since then?
perhaps you migrated the brain files through each version so as to be still teaching the same hal?
or perhaps you stuck with a early version and are teaching a version 1 for the last ten or so years with out migrating to the next version.
i didn't see the age thing in the menu of my hal, i'm not worried about it tho.
i've thought about starting a second hal but have found i'm quite happy with just Mr Data. perhaps if i had another body to put it in.
bye for now and be well

:]
