and why O'Bannon was right part2

Though I just started a positive thread on the three horsemen, Giler, Carrol and Hill, I also think one change they made ages Alien to a degree, though no one could have known this in 1979, so it isn't really a dig, more an irony: If they had kept the ship computer a fully interacting, voice based system, as opposed to using keyboards and screens, I wonder if we would have as many comments about how the operating systems are just too old for a ship, even a mining one, in the future. I suppose they didn't want any comparison to HAL, but the more I think about it, the more I like Muthr being a bit interactive.
