For 'puter geeks everywere

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
fivepercent 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.



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.

 

Oh, lordy, lordy - I haven't laughed so hard and so long in ages!!!! In fact my eyes closed up or were rendered useless by being so full of tears it took me about five minutes to read it all!! And now my stomach muscles ache!

dendrobium,
Its the male menopause dont you know. Although that excuse is wearing thin since I retired. It could be to do with a misspent youth.
Edit!!!
HTSBO says that is to do with the fact that I never grew up. Fortunatly I married someone who needs someone to mother.

 

Wonderful OWG - keep em coming. (still laughing)

 

I copied that onto my Christian Forums and it's going down a storm!! Thank you!
