Hey guys,I found this on the christrains forums (www.christrains.nl/forum ), And would like it to share it with you...
It's translated from dutch.-----------On the American COMDEX fair/exchange Bill Gates declared: If General Motors had made as much technical advances as the computerindustry did, we all would drive around in cars of 25 dollars, which would use 1 liter petrol on 400 kilometers.General Motors director Welch came directly with the next press release:
If the technology of General Motors would have advanced like Microsoft, we all would drive around in cars with the next characteristics:1: Your car would stop responding twice every day without reason.2: Every time new lines are painted on the roads, you would have to buy a new car.3: Sometimes your car would stop just on the highway, where you should reboot to continue.4: Sometimes your car would resist steering left, next it would stop, and you won't be able to drive any further. In that case you would have to reinstall the engine.5: You wouldn't be allowed to use your car with more than one person at the time, excepts if you bought Car95, CarNT or Car2000 yourself. In that case you should buy more chairs.6: Macintosh would build a car which would be powered with solarpower, work reliable, steer much easier en would be 5 times faster, but could only drive on 5% of the roads.7: The warninglights for oilpressure, coolant temperature, handbrake and other functions would be replaced by one single light, which would indicate "general carerror".8: The chairs would be made for only one size of backside.9: Before the airbag would be activated when you got an accident, the car would ask first: "Are you sure?" 10: For an unknown reason it could happen that your car would lock you out and won't let you come in, unless you grap the viper and the antenna, and turn the keys at the same time.11: General Motors would demand all users to buy a Rand McNally roadmap (Rand McNally is now officialy part of GM), however nobody would use or need the map.
If you won't buy the map, the prestations of your car would turn down to 50%. This way of coupleselling would lead to a judicial inquiry at General Motors12: Every time General Motors would introduce a new model, user would need to take driving lessons again, because every model got a now way of operation.13: To shut down the engine, you would have to press the start button.source: "all ones and nulls"("allemaal enen en nullen")/ Ed van Eeden.---------------------Regards,René-----------------------------
