Wisdom From Robert Cringely

Wisdom From Robert Cringely
Mitch Wagner reminds us of this great quote from Robert X. Cringely:
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.
Note that this could be the Cringely from PBS, or the person currently using that pseudonym at InfoWorld, where PBS' Cringely — neé Mark Stephens — originally acquired the name.
Here are links to both the original, now-with-PBS Cringely, and the current "Cringely" at InfoWorld. The former, incidentally, comes up higher on a Google search.
