Today's quote:   If the automobile had followed the same development cycle as
the computer,
a Rolls Royce would today cost $100, get a million miles per gallon and explode
once per year,
killing everyone inside (R.X. Cringely).
Addendum to quote (S Walz):   It would also have 4,000 horsepower, but only go
30 mph, have a
huge trunk, but it would already be full of all kinds of stuff, have way too
many controls, heater may or
may not work, and if it doesn't, you would have to turn the car off and on to
fix it, engines would all
be made by the same company, nobody would be able to to agree on how wide the
roads should
be, Macs would drive on the left, good news is you could change the color
easily.
