Happy Birthday HAL !
If you're a fan of the book, HAL is 23 today.

But if you've only seen the movie, HAL is 28.

I have never seen a suitable explanation of the gap; maybe 1997 seemed too far away from 1968 when Kubrick made the film. Perhaps Clarke told him the year should be change to 1997 and Stanley replied "I'm sorry Arthur, I'm afraid I can't do that".
