Bill Gates Compares Computers To Cars GM Fires Back

This has been around for awhile but I reckon it’s funny enough to do the rounds again.

It happened one day at a computer expo where the infallible Bill Gates compares the computer industry to the auto industry. Bill stated that , “If GM had kept up with technology like those of us in the computer industry we would all be driving $25 cars that would get over 100km to the litre!”

This naturally pisses off General Motors and so first chance they get they release the following statement;

‘Yes, but would you want your car to crash at least twice a day? And there are many other issues to consider, including;

  • Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to update your car.
  • It would be normal for you car to just die on the freeway for absolutely no reason and you would just accept this, restart the car and continue your journey.
  • Every now and again whilst executing a maneuver the car would stop and refuse to start again forcing you to re-install the engine. For some reason you would also come to accept this as being normal.
  • You could only have one passenger at a time unless you bought ‘Car95’ or ‘CarNT’, but this would force you to buy more seats.
  • Macintosh would make a car that ran on solar energy, was more reliable, five times as fast, way more easy to drive but could only run on 5% of the roads.
  • This would force Macintosh owners to get expensive Microsoft upgrades for their cars but then their cars would be forced to run a lot slower.
  • The oil, gas and alternator lights would be replaced with a single General Car Default warning light.
  • New seats would force everyone to have the same sized rear end.
  • The air bag system would flash “Are You Sure” before activating.

Yeah Bill, we sure have a lot to be thankful for.

    I’m glad you liked it Dennis. There are still some things that you can rely on in this world, and they are sex, drugs and the Friday’s Funnies. :thumbup_tb:
