Hmpf

LJ is no fun. Don't feel like making long-winded posts just now. Even though I would have things to tell.

Just quick reference for myself.

Wednesday, clown at children's costume ball. Was fun. Scared kid. Costume awards were very annoying.
Friday, finally got a working CD-R drive installed. Works nicely, but those idiots charged me two working hours even though they said they wouldn't and they didn't put the cover back in which is why my poor Cid looks very ugly now. Will need to call to yell at them on Monday.

That is all.

For those who care

At a recent computer expo (COMDEX), Bill Gates reportedly compared the computer industry with the auto industry and stated,

"If General Motors had kept up with the technology computer industry has, we would the be driving $25.00 cars that got 1,000 miles to the gallon."

In response to Bill's comments, General Motors issued a press release stating:

If G.M had developed technology like Microsoft, we would all be driving cars with the following characteristics:

• For no reason whatsoever, your car would crash twice a day.


• Every time they repainted the lines on the road, you would have to buy a new car.


• Occasionally your car would die on the freeway for no reason. You would have to pull over 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.

• Occasionally, executing a manoeuvre 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.


• 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.


• The oil, water temperature, and alternator warning lights would all be replaced by a single "This Car Has Performed An Illegal Operation" warning light.


• The airbag system would ask, "Are you sure?", before deploying.


• 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.


• 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.


• You'd have to press the "Start" button to turn the engine off.
