Good guess, but HAL-PC stands for the Houston Area League of PC Users, the
largest organization of computer users in the United States (insofar as I know).

For anyone else out there in Houston who was also wondering the same thing:
especially if you are new to computer use, it is also a fantastic bargain.  For
$45.00 a year membership fees you get an informative monthly magazine, the right
to attend free (or nearly free) computer classes and, most of all, free access to
some of the best computer brains in Houston, whenever you run into a problem with
your PC which has you stumped.  In a nutshell, HAL-PC membership is a life-vest
for drowning computer users.
