Seems to me y'all missed it.     Dr. D. Bowman is having trouble
with his computer.   It only talks in monotone and wont open the
door for him.   In a fit of pique, he crushes the mouse and rips
the SIMMS out.     We cut to outside where we pan from the
Discovery to follow Dave (in the pod) as he orbits out to find, 
framed against the backdrop of Jupiter, a large black . . . 

We then follow Dave as he enters new worlds of sight, sound, and
color.

Part B:

Trivia question for those who may want to know more about
what NeXT developments mean to the market:

What is the largest electronic device ever built, and why have
most hardware vendors ignored it?
