For all of us who feel
only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our
lives, read on.
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), 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 1,000 miles to the gallon."
In response to Bill's comments, General
Motors issued a press release stating: If GM had developed technology
like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics
(and I just love this part):
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car
would crash........
Twice a day.
2. Every time they repainted the lines in
the road, you would have to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally your car would die on the
freeway for no reason. You would have to pull to the side of the road, close
all of the windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before
you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.
4. Occasionally, executing a maneuver
such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in
which case you would have to reinstall the engine.
5. Macintosh would make a car that was
powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive
- but would run on only five percent of the roads.
6. The oil, water temperature, and
alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has
Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.
I love the next one!!!
7. The airbag system would ask "Are
you sure?" before deploying.
8. Occasionally, for no reason
whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you
simultaneously lifted the door handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.
9. Every time a new car was introduced,
car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again because none of the
controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. You'd have to press the
"Start" button to turn the engine off.
Please share this with your friends who
love - but sometimes hate - their computer.
