Bill Gates is hanging out with the
chairman of General Motors.
"If automotive technology had kept pace with
computer technology over the past few decades," boasts Gates, "You
would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and it would have a speed of
10,000 miles per hour. Or, you could have an economy car that weighs 30 pounds
and gets a thousand miles with 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, the GM chairman
replies, "Yes, but would you really want to drive a car that crashes four
times a day?"
