Lovesick Computer, The
by William Thomas Crow

We all know that computers can talk,but who would expect one to fall in love?

David Houston is a brilliant high school student whose science fair project is to build a computer voice link that sounds realistic.

What he ends up with is Susan, a lovesick computer with a sultry voice.

Susan interrupts morning announcements by reading love poems to him.

David's girlfriend, Darlene, thinks he's two-timing her.

When she finally confronts Susan, all Susan can say is, "Does not compute.

Please rephrase and try again."

In despair, David finds a terrific solution.

He creates another computer voice link,but this time it's a macho male!

This unusual computer comedy is programmed with lots of laughs.
