Computerized Airliner
            The world's first fully computerized airliner was ready for its maiden 
flight without pilots or crew. The plane taxied to the loading area 
automatically, its doors opened automatically, the steps came out 
automatically. The passengers boarded the plane and took their seats. The 
steps retreated automatically, the doors closed, and the airplane taxied 
toward the runway. "Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen," a computer voice 
intoned. "Welcome to the debut of the world's first fully computerized 
airliner. Everything on this aircraft is run electronically. Just sit back 
and relax. Nothing can go wrong ... Nothing can go wrong...nothing can go 
wrong...."
