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.
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!
