Something to share...

... and again, there's where The Owner's Pride gonna be. At the Starbucks Coffee, as usual. Surfing the net away. So, today, instead of contributing one's own story to tell, there's something to share with all fellow bloggers out there. So, welcome to this blog. And, found this rather funny. Here it is:

"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 $25 cars that got 1000 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 restart, in which case you would have to reinstall the engine.

(5) Only one person at a time could use the car, unless you bought"Car95" or "CarNT", but 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 run on only 5% of the roads.

(7) The oil, water temperature and alternator warning light would be replaced by a single "general car fault" 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) Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lift the door handle, turn the key, and grab hold of the radio antennae.

(11) GM would require all car buyers to also purchase a deluxe set of Rand McNally road maps (now a GM subsidiary), even though they might never need them or want them. Attempting to delete this option would immediately cause the car's performance to diminish by 50% or more. Moreover, GM would become a target for investigation by the Justice Department.

(12) Every time GM introduced a new model, car buyers would have to learn how to drive all over again, because none of the controls would operated in the same manner as the old car.

(13) You'd press the start button to shut off the engine."

Hehehe.. so, this is what happen when the car industry technology goes in the same pace as the computer industry technology. How about buying a Bill Gates car? Any takers out there?
