What would robots from 1960’s and 1970’s TV say today with current software installed?

Such as the Daleks with “Exterminate. ‘Exterminate’ is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”.

You could do a whole cartoon strip of it.

Davros: “The Doctor must be destroyed!”

Blue Dalek: “Exterminate. ‘Exterminate’ is not recognised as an internal or external command, operable program or batch file”

Black Dalek: “Kill” [shuts down]

Davros: “The Doctor must be erased!”

Blue Dalek: “Backspace is not working. Somebody swapped my keys around”

Black Dalek “whirr – whizz – click – beep beep beep. Press ctrl + alt + delete to logon”

2nd Black Dalek: “non-system disk or disk error. Please replace and press any key when ready”

Blue Dalek: “Aha, I’ll get him with my funny beam thing that makes things disappear. Damn, it’s USB 2.0 and I’m only USB 1.1 compatible”

2nd Blue Dalek: “I have the same trouble with my webcam” [bumps into furniture]

3rd Blue Dalek: “I'm running slow, I can’t keep my weapon targeted. Maybe I should clear my cache and startup folder and then run defrag?”

Doctor Who: “Sod this, I’m bored” [pulls plug and Daleks shut down]

Davros: “Noooo, now I’ll have to run scandisk!”
