For those times when you are struggling with your computer
or the quirks of some Microsoft application, think of this:
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 twenty-five
dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."

Recently General Motors addressed this comment by
releasing the statement,  "Yes, but would you want your car
to crash twice a day?"

IF MICROSOFT BUILT CARS.....

1. Every time they re-painted the lines on the road you would
 have to buy a new car.

 2. Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no
 reason, and you would just accept this, restart and drive on.

 3. Occasionally, executing a maneuver would cause your
 car to stop and fail and you would have to reinstall the
 engine.  For some strange  reason, you would accept this
 too.

 4. You could only have one person in the car at a time,
 unless you bought "Car95" or "CarNT".  But, then you would
 have to buy more seats..

 5. Macintosh would make a car that was powered by the
 sun, was reliable, five times as fast, twice as easy to drive -
 but only 5 percent of the public would buy one.

 6. Some Macintosh car owners would get expensive Microsoft
 upgrades to their cars, which would make their cars run
 much slower.

 7. The oil, gas and alternator warning lights would be
 replaced by a single "general car default" warning light.

 8. New seats would force everyone to have the same size
 butt.

 9. The airbag system would say "are you sure?" before
 going off.

 10. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea
 what happened.
