Wait. You're telling me that they have computers that talk back now? Gee, big cities are nutty places.

There have been computers that speak for quite some time. In 1962, a Bell Labs physicist named John Larry Kelly first used an IBM 704 computer to synthesize speech, and to sing the song "Daisy Bell." The event made such an impression on Arthur C. Clarke that he reproduced Kelly's program in 2001, when the HAL 9000 sang the same song.

Terrific, now we have HAL running the school. You think the nuns would learn from the movie.

Hey, computer, what would it take for you to lose my disciplinary record?

OK, MEG. I'm wondering, which colleges are best for an SJS student to go to?

Are you interested in local colleges? Colleges in the continental United States? Colleges world wide? Would you like the list to contain Universities as well?

Perhaps you would like to consult your guidance counselor with a list of what you are looking for.

Otherwise, the list I would e-mail you, Mr. Eades would exceed the allowable limit of your SJS.edu inbox.
