At a recent computer expo, Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated, 'If auto manufacturers had kept up with technology like the computer industry, we would all be driving $25 cars that got 100 miles to the gallon.' In response to gate's comments one auto manufaturer issued a press release stating: If the auto industry had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following charachteristics: 1.For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day. 2.Everytime they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car. 3.Occasionally your car would die on the road for no reason. You would have to pull over to the side of the road, close all the windows, shut off the car, restate it, and reopen the windows before you could continue. 4.Occasionally, executing a maneuver such a a left turn would cause your car to competely shut down, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine. 5.Macintosh would make a car powered by the sun, was reliable, five times as fast and twice as easy to drive -- but would only run on 5 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. 7.The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?' before deploying. 8.Occasionally, 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. Keep smiling!
