Well, I thought I would introduce a new section into Monkies Blog, so I thought and thought, and then realized I am always speaking my mind, but I never actually speak it, or type it in most matters. So here comes “mToT” which stants for “My Thoughts on This” And for the first one I will be speaking of an old article I found while randomly browsing the internet.
The article says the following:
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 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.”
“Sure,” says the GM chairman. “But would you really want to drive a car that crashes four times a day?”

Now for the interesting part… My thoughts (on this)
1. It should be Vista not XP
2. There are more car crashes involving GM vehicles than there are computer crashes in a 7 week period
3. V-32 would weight about 10-15 thousand pounds by itself.
4. a car going 10k miles an hour is impossible (faster than light?)
5. If i ever weight more then my car i would have to kill myself.
6. 1,000milesto the gallon, I could live with that
7. $50 car? Dollar Store brand?
and that concludes the first mToT.
