For Computer Lovers

[khevolution]

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!
