HAL 9000 became operational (12-1-1992)

(according to HAL himself)
(in the movie)
The song "Daisy Bell" is heard in the famous "Death of HAL" scene in
_2001: A Space Odyssey_ (1968).
Crystal says that he "came over all emotional" on hearing this in the
film, since he had heard it earlier from PAT (Parametric Artificial
Talker), an early speech synthesis device at the University of
Edinburgh. (Date not given; the movie's use of the song is usually
explained by reference to a group at Bell Labs in 1961 using an IBM 7094.)
