Windows vs Ford..very funny

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!
