In a somewhat related vein...has anyone done the digitized voice of
HAL (2010) saying 'Hello, all my circuits are functional and...' as a
bootup program for the Amiga yet? I can't recall the exact words
(would have to reset the ST to hear it), but it is quite a nice effect
for hard disk owners (loads in only a second or two, pronounces very
distinctly that it is up, removes itself from memory and continues the
boot process.) For all I know, it may have originated on the Amiga,
but if so, I would appreciate hearing where I could get hold of it
(for some friends.)
