I uploaded this to a new file uploader that seems to have no limits!

IBM 7094 Computer at Bell Labs sings Daisy, 1961
EDIT: Mirror: http://www.savefile.com/files/2278589 (The new no limits uploader might be deaded.)

I had this on a cd, got it from a site that's long dead but I'd saved the info in a txt file.

The IBM 7094 Computer at Bell Labs Sings
"A Bicycle Built For Two" ("Daisy"), circa 1961

Remember the scene in "2001: A Space Odyssey" when the HAL 9000
computer sang "Daisy" as he slowed to a halt? Of course you do.
Now hear the original computer which inspired that scene.
In 1961, this performance was generated on an IBM 7094 computer
at Bell Labs. The vocal was programmed by John Kelly and Carol
Lockbaum. The accompanyment was programmed by Max Mathews.

That'd probably because the uploader has no limits and people raped it to hell. It was working a coupla hours ago.

Try this link instead.
