"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 a year, killing everyone inside." Robert X. Cringely
Sounds like he's had computer problems before, too. :-)

Well, the price is right and the miles per gallon is nice. So, if you could only predict when it would explode, that would work out just fine.
Yeah, there is the bummer in it, of course. :-)

Ahh!, Derrick and I were both members of an exclusive automobile club. We were former owners of the famous Metro. The gas mileage outweighed the risk factor. As I recall, I didn't get a million miles to a gallon, but is was closer to that than any other car I have owned.
