On that note, I was attending an unveiling of the at the time new r129 at
MBNA headquarters in Montvale and a discussion had ensued about the newer
MBs and computers among some of the attendees and MB officals there. It was
said that in the upcoming w140, there would be more computers on that car
than in the first manned space craft. What is all of this technology in aid
of, besides costing millions of dollars and making cars less dependable in
the long run? Oh, wait, these cars are no longer designed for the long
haul. Seems they are to be disposable just like a good old Bic lighter. Sad.

I'd rather the space shuttle. As of a few years ago, they were still greatly
relying on the venerable 486 processor for most of the computer
systems. Old,
yes, but proven and reliable through the years.
It may go into space, but the tech that gets it there is far from cutting
edge.
