*************************************************************************** Gates vs. Ford

Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success.

He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against Ford Motor Corp.

The comparison went like this:

GATES:

If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over the past few decades, you could now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. (160,000km/hr).

--Or you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds (14 kilos) and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of gas. In either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50.

In response to all this goading, Ford responds:

"Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?"
