Ed,
Evil computers is a fairly common trope.

After reading that Dan, I may add one more to the face off. Colossus.
Thanks for the suggestion.

Ed,
I planned to also suggest Colossus: The Forbin Project (1970) in my post, but was running late for other matters.
D.F. Jones' Colossus is the first of a series of novels. The film adaptation is one of the rare cases in which the film is much better than the novel. The two sequels are The Fall of Colossus (1974) and Colossus and the Crab (1977).
Colossus is a passable science fiction novel albeit it somewhat uninspired. The two sequels are at best implausible and on occasion laughable. If the two sequels were adapted for film, they would likely be instantly eligible for the Razzie.Award.

I added it and updated the list by the way. If you could change the post. Thanks.
I was also surprised to find a pic of the colossus computer. I've had to upload two WOPR's and hope one gets approved. Also may have to use a terminator salvation pic for Skynet.

Thank you for making a good face-off. : )
The Fathers Day Poll I whipped together in 5 minutes, or this one?
That's a go figure poll. Top 5 TV Dad's is getting way more votes than I thought it would!
And Thanks

The two top spots are at 57-56 right now. Yahoo! I love hotly contested polls and when that happens to a face-off, it makes me particularly happy.
'Well done, Ed. : )
(And wow, I'm such a poll nerd.)

I check my polls all the time. So I out Nerd you! LOL :)
And Thanks.
P.S.
I have checked this one 4 times already. It had 89 votes after only 12 hours. So It was popular in Europe.

Ed,
I generally check your polls only once a week. ;-)
I fully expected a strong contest between Hal and SkyNet. I'm somewhat surprised that Colossus got 7 votes; I expected less.
