Hello!
Very funny. I suggest (strongly, rather strongly) "When HARLIE was
One". It was written by author David Gerrold about 40 or so years ago,
back when computers took up the whole room to work in, in fact HARLIE
could fit into a largish datacenter. David tells me he had HARLIE use
typewriter based I/O devices such as the ones that IBM made who also
used magnetic storage since HARLIE had a bad habit of changing his own
memory to suit what he wanted it to be. However by using the printed
output, the two people involved could steer him back.

CP/67 was written in that era, you'll find people who write of getting TTY's for CP/67 (or was it CTSS?) terminals at home.

HARLIE is what Watson will be when he grows up.

Since HARLIE competed with IBM, that's doubtful.?

OTOH, I think our 2019 MINI Cooper S (a year old this month, ) with it's dedicated 4G cell connectivity is one upgrade away from being a charter member of SkyNet ... and it gets unattended OTA updates,? The navigation system display changed a month ago and WE didn't do anything.? (The Year of Darkness is only 10 years away ...)

You find the Release 2.0 one on his home page. My hardcopy of his
original text bears the signature.

I have the original, not autographed.? I saw release 2.0 in bookstores back in 1980's, but didn't buy it.? It seemed like it would be in stuck its (different) era like the original. Robert A. Heinlein considered some of revising some of his early stories after more science became known, but realized it would be endless and he passed on it.

Incidentally what's with the decidedly big house cat sitting next to you?

Link?? Probably one of the Catzilla brothers ().?
