MICROSOFT, MACKINTOSH & MOTORCYCLES
At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer
industry with the bike industry and stated, "If Honda had kept up with
technology like the computer industry has, we would all be driving
twenty-five dollar bikes that got 1000miles/gal."
Recently Honda addressed this comment by releasing the statement, "Yes,
but would you want your bike to crash
twice a day?"
IF MICROSOFT BUILT BIKES....
1. Every time they repainted the lines on the road you would have to buy a new
bike.
2. Occasionally your bike would die on the freeway for no reason, and you would
just accept this, restart and
drive on.
3. Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre would cause your bike to stop and fail
and you would have to re-install
the engine. For some strange reason, you would accept this too.
4. You could only have one person on the bike at a time, unless bought "Bike95"
or "BikeNT". But then you would have to buy an extra seat.
5. Macintosh would make a bike that was powered by the sun, was reliable, five
times as fast, twice as easy to drive - but would only run on 5 percent of the
roads.
6. The Macintosh bike owners would get expensive Microsoft upgrades to their
bikes, which would make their bikes run much slower.
7. The oil, fuel and temperature warning lights would be replaced by a single
"general bike default" warning light.
8. A new seat would force everyone to have the same size butt.
9. If you were involved in a crash, you would have no idea what happened.
