Weekend humor, and its TRUE!.........
At Comdex, a recent computer exposition, Bill Gates reportedly compared the
computer industry with the auto industry and stated "if GM had kept up with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving $25.00
cars that got 1000 miles to the gallon."
Recently, General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the statements:
Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day? Every time they
repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new car.
Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would
just accept this, restart and drive on. Occasionally, executing a maneuver
would cause your car to stop and fail and you would have to re-install the
engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too. You could only
have one person in the car at a time, unless you bought "car95" or "carNT".
But then you would have to buy more seats. Macintosh would make a car that
was powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to
drive, but would only run on 5 % of the roads. The Macintosh car owners
would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their cars, which would make
their cars run much slower. The oil gas and alternator warning lights would
be replaced by a single "general car fault" warning light. New seats would
force everyone to have the same size butt. The airbag system would say "are
you sure?" before going off. If you were involved in a crash, you would
have no idea what happened.
