Bill Gates wanted to look good and impress everyone with his success.
He decided to measure the accomplishments of Microsoft against General
Motors. Boasting of the advances in computers and software, he said:
    
    "If automotive technology had kept pace with computer technology over
the past few decades, you would now be driving a V-32 instead of a V-8, and
it would have a top speed of 10,000 miles per hour. Or you could have an
economy car that weighs 30 pounds and gets a thousand miles to a gallon of
gas. In either case the sticker price of a new car would be less than $50."
    
    To which the chairman of General Motors replied, "Yes, but would you
really want to drive a car that crashes twice a day?"
