Something I had to share......

[winifred]

This is an email our family received I had to share.
ps: post anything you guys have to share.


       WINDOWS  VS FORD
 
 For  all of us who feel only the deepest love and  affection for the way
computers  have enhanced our lives, read on. At a recent  computer expo
(COMDEX),  Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer  industry with the auto
industry  and stated,  
 'If  Ford had kept up with technology like the  computer industry has, we
 would  all be driving $25 cars that got 1,000 miles to  the gallon.'  
 In  response to Bill's comments, Ford issued a press  release stating:
 If  Ford had developed technology like Microsoft, we  would all be driving
 cars  with the following characteristics (and I just  love this part):  
 1.  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 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.  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.  
 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.  
 I  love the next one!!!  

 7.  The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?'  before deploying.
 8.  Occasionally, for no reason whatsoever, 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.  

 PS  - I'd like to add that when all else fails, you  could call 'customer
 service'  in some foreign country and be instructed in  some foreign language
 how  to fix your car yourself!!!!    

 Please  share this with your friends who love
 -  but sometimes hate - their computer

Sad but true. >_<

^^^ yep  

[cregga rose eyes]

 I  love the next one!!!  

 7.  The airbag system would ask 'Are you sure?'  before deploying.
 

Haha, That would a huge bummer since if you needed your airbag, you would only have a split second to respond, if it asking doesn't take up that time.

Lol!

[Leatho Shellhound]

Wow

[Rainshadow]

  The entire way through, I was just chuckling.  Anyone that might have heard me probably thought I was crazy.

[WarriorOfMossflower]

xD This is hilarious.

[Tiria Wildlough]

Nice! I like the airbag one too.

I find it rather insulting to CP's.... Who would say such a thing? What if your computer reads it and decides to revolt?

I for one am just happy I have a computer at the moment (really looking forward to getting a better one that I can truly call "my own."

BTW Anyone know how much an alienware lap costs?

[Dreamer]

That is so funny....
