       The famous ELIZA program (the computer psychiatrist) was originally written in 1965 by Dr. Joseph Weizenbaum at MIT. The program soon became famous for its ability to make people think they were talking not with a computer but with a person. Most people, at the time, found it fascinating.\
       This version allowed to change ELIZA's conversational habits, and even write completely new subject by programming scripts.

-      The specs shown here for the Executive are incorrect. This system was equipped with a 6MHz Z80B CPU not the 4MHz Z80A as stated.

-    text: I saw an Osborne Executive (or was it the Osborne 1) in a Youtube video titled ''Computer Virus TV News Report'' and the video was all about the Morris Internet worm that spread throughout the Internet, shutting down thousands of computers. Search Youtube for ''computer virus tv news'' and you''ll see what I mean.
