A Saturday Night Story - cars vs computers

Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with the success of advances in the computer world. So, he decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General Motors. The comparison went like this:

If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of petrol. In either case the showroom price of a new car would be less than £100.

In response to this challenge, General Motors responds: "Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day?

Tony (with apologies to James!)




Never surrender.

I would agree, but if I agreed, my computer might just go "oh screw you" and crash, heh ^_^;;
I love these jokes =)



You can't lose hope when it's hopeless.
You gotta hope more,
then put your fingers in your ears and go,
"Blah blah blah blah!"


I miss you Pip ♥

For those doubts that swirl all around us
For those lives that tear at the seams
We know… we’re not what we’ve seen

For this dance we’ll move with each other
There ain’t no other step than one foot
Right in front of the other

~ We're marching on... ~

Well it breaks my heart to see you this way,
The beauty in life, where's it gone?
And somebody told me you were doing okay,
Somehow I guess they were wrong.
