From some Asimov classics (the Foundation series)!

R. Daneel Olivaw was the robot's name and the human detective was Elijah Baley.

Here you go:

Awesome books. Hell, I may just read 'em again now.

The series has recently been resurected - there's tons on Google.

My first college programming class was on a Commodore Super Pet, with 180K FDDs. We'd buy the double-sided IBM disks, cut another notch in them, and flip them over to use both sides.
