I just finished reading "2001 A Space Odyssey" and "2010 Odyssey 2" by Sir Arthur C. Clarke both books had me reading in spanish and english...

Many of us will remember old HAL 9000 supercomputer aboard of the USS Discovery BUT this is NOT HAL 9000.... here is a part near the end of the book 2010 that can explain why 10000 instead of 9000:

"...
When he had finished, Floyd sat quietly for a while in the tiny cubicle he would not need much longer. He was just about to carry the audio chip up to the bridge for transmission, when Chandra came drifting in.
Floyd had been agreeably surprised by the way in which the scientist had accepted his increasing separation from Hal. They were still in touch for several hours every day, exchanging data on Jupiter and monitoring conditions aboard Discovery. Though no one had expected any great display of emotion, Chandra seemed to be taking his loss with remarkable fortitude. Nikolai Ternovsky, his only confidant, had been able to give Floyd a plausible explanation of his behavior.
- "Chandra's got a new interest, Woody. Remember -- he's in a business where if something works, it's obsolete. He's learned a lot in the last few months. Can't you guess what he's doing now?"
- "Frankly, no. You tell me."
- "He's busy designing HAL 10,000."
Floyd's jaw dropped. "So that explains those log messages to Urbana that Sasha's been grumbling about. Well, he won't be blocking the circuits much longer."
Floyd recalled the conversation when Chandra entered; he knew better than to ask the scientist if it was true, for it was really none of his business. Yet there was another matter about which he was still curious.
..."

Dr. Chandra was the brain and father behind SAL & HAL Supercomputers! and this is one of the sensory "eyes" that the computer used to "watch" his surroundings. Full view show's some nice details unseen in the thumbnail.

Thanxs to for the litenin-fast-slim-but-yet-efective-aqua- tutorial-psd shared with me!

I hope you like it... c'ya!
