Note that ``. . . that classic line at the end:  one couldnt (sic) think of a
more apt ending!'' not only is not in Ellison's novella, but has been publicly
disclaimed by Ellison -- he claims that it rather strongly violates the spirit
of his story, in particular the actual last line of his story.  (I in fact
agree with him on this point, though I still like the movie's line.)

Also, not that the robot's name is Michael.
