For all of us who feel only the deepest love and affection for the<br>way computers have enhanced our lives, read on.<br><br><br>At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared <br>the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, &quot;If GM had kept<br>up with technology like the computer industry has, we would all be<br>driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon&quot;.<br><br>In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press <br>release<br>stating: If GM had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all<br>be driving cars with the following characteristics:<br><br>1. For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.<br><br>2. Every time they repainted the lines in the road, you would have <br>to buy a new car.<br><br>3. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You<br> would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all of the<br>windows, shut off the car, restart it, and reopen the windows before<br>you could continue. For some reason you would simply accept this.<br><br>4. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre such as a left turn would cause<br>your car to shut down and refuse to restart, in which case you would<br>have to reinstall the engine.<br><br>5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the sun, was<br>reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive - but would<br>run on only five percent of the roads.<br><br>6. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would <br>all<br>be replaced by a single &quot;This Car Has Performed An Illegal <br>Operation&quot; warning light.<br><br>7. The airbag system would ask &quot;Are you sure?&quot; before deploying.<br><br>8. Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you &gt;out<br>and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door<br> handle, turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.<br><br>9. Every time a new car was introduced car buyers would have to learn<br>how to drive all over again because none of the controls would <br>operate<br> in the same manner as the old car.<br><br> 10. You'd have to press the &quot;Start&quot; button to turn the engine off<br> <br>
