The computer, before it started talking, only asked for the operators I.Q.. Well at the trial they started by entering 180 and the computer and the operator had a great talk on the best way to figure the trajectories for ICBMs. The second time they entered 110 and the computer and the operator talked about the best way to clean a rifle. Finally they entered 55 and all the computer did was start to sing "From the Halls of Montezuma...." Well I thought it was funny, Tom Harris
