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

     "If GM (General Motors) had kept up with technology like the
      computer industry has, we would all be driving twenty-five
      dollar cars that got 1000 mi/gal."

Recently General Motors addressed this comment by releasing the
statement:

     "Yes, but would you want your car to crash twice a day?"
