Quoted from "Promise-child in the Land of the Humans" by Gregory
Benford and David Book, an article in "The Compleat Computer" by
Dennie L. Van Tassel.

	" HAL stands for Heuristically programmed Algorithmic
	  computer, which simply means that HAL can teach
	  himself to do new things, just as a man does."
