Best SF Computers/Robots of All Time

Okay, here's my list:

1. Skynet of Terminator fame
2. Blue Max and Bollux (Brian Daley's Han Solo books)
3. C-3P0 and R2-D2 (I shouldn't need to answer this one)
4. Bob, Vincent, and Maximillian (Disney's Black Hole)
5. Marvin, the paranoid android (Hitch Hiker's Guide To The Galaxy, old school version)
6. T1000, T800, and the liquidmetal Terminators
7. Cylons (old, new and in their sexy variations)
8. HAL 9000 ("It was a good idea to put me on this list, Dave.")
9. Rommie from Andromeda
10. The SGC Dialing Computer (Stargate)
11. Emergency Medical Hologram (Trek) and the whole Holodeck (includes Moriarty)
12. K-9 (Doctor Who's second best side-kick ever, after the leather skirted knife thrower)
13. The computer on B5 (when it had the AI turned on that so annoyed Garibaldi)
14. Johnny Five (Disney's Short Circuit)
15. The computer that calculated the Nine Billion Names of God

That's my list. Can you name some other good candidates?
