>2001, Dean, but that's OK - since we're not in space yet, it's understandable to get confused. Though I note we do have lots of things that were considered radical science fiction back when the movie was done, like talking computers, tiny little communicators, etc.

It'll be a while before Hal shows up on our PCs though.

>Heh heh....actually that is irrelevant. The point of humor was the granite piece with reference to the movie. lighten up...it was funny.

Well, yeah, it was funny

>though I had a picture of using a deer antler to flake obsidian, and wondering how intense the arguments got over the low angle Org stone axe vs. the Yrrrk pitch axe.

Of Course It Was!

>Just thought you'd like to know the name of the music that the movie co-opted.

Always did like that flick! Course I was programming computers at the time and thought it would be great to program one to act like HAL.
