General
Motors Vs Bill Gates
At a recent computer expo, 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 twenty-five-dollar cars that
get 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:
|
| 1. |
For no reason
whatsoever your car would crash twice a day. |
| 2. |
Every
time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to
buy a new car.
|
| 3. |
Occasionally your
car would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would just
accept this, restart, and drive on.
|
| 4. |
Occasionally,
executing a maneuver such as a left turn would cause your car
to shut down and refuse to to restart, in which case you would
have to re-install the engine.
|
| 5. |
Only one person
at a time could use the car, unless you bought "Car95",
"Car98", or "CarNT". However, even then you
would have to buy more seats.
|
| 6. |
Macintosh would
make a car that was powered by the sun, reliable, five times as
fast, and twice as easy to drive, but would only run on 5 percent
of the roads. |
| 7. |
The oil, water
temperature, and alternator warning lights would be replaced by
a single "general car default" warning light.
