For those of you who have had experience with computers and their

glitches and idiosyncrasies, and downright illogical workings, you'll

appreciate the following: 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 the 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:

l. 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 over 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. Only one person at a time could use the car unless you bought CarNT, "

 but then you would have to buy more seats.

6. 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 five

 percent of the roads.

7. The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be

 replaced by a single " General Protection Fault " warning light.

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

9. The airbag system would ask " are you sure " before deploying.

10. Occasionally for no reason whatsoever, your car would lock you out and

 refuse to let you in until you simultaneously lifted the door

handle, and turned the key and grabbed hold of the radio antenna.

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 neither need

nor

 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 Dept.

12. Every time GM introduced a new car, car buyers would have to learn to

 drive all over again because none of the controls would operate in the

 same manner as the old car.

13. You'd have to press the " Start " button to turn the engine off.
