Just A Funny Note...
I thought you would enjoy reading this humorous article concerning the "wonderful" computer we all own! Isn’t technology fun?!
Computers & Cars
For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the way computers have enhanced our lives...
At a recent computer expo, (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry. He stated "If GM had kept up with technology like the computer industry, we would all be driving $25.00 cars which get 1,000 miles per gallon."
In response to Bill Gates, General Motors issued a press release stating:
1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.
2. Every time the lines in the road were repainted, you would need to buy a new car.
3. Occasionally, your car would die on the freeway, for no apparent reason. You would have to pull over 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.
4. Sometimes, executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car to shut down and refuse to restart. In this case, you would need to reinstall the engine.
5. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single warning –"This car has performed an illegal operation."
6. The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?" before deploying.
7. Occasionally, for no apparent reason, 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.
8. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was very reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive–but it would only run on 5% of the roads.
9. Every time a new car is introduced, car buyers would need to learn to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operate in the same manner as the old car.
10. Finally, you would press the "start" button to turn the engine off...
