I find it funny how we all consider the automobile industry as a key here and in reality their level of improvement when graphed out over time is pretty pathetic when compared to computer hardware. Every 3 years there is a new breed of chip that can out perform the last round in the form or double or squared. When automotive giants across the globe still can't squeeze more then 10% for performance gains across the past 10 years. So Honda standards are what, "Don't fix it if it's not broken." Or was it along the lines of "Mr. Lee has a better engine standard that will achieve 2X the current fuel efficiency, but we are getting so much coin from the Oil companies just shot the poor bastard Lee."? Automotive companies have to change the looks of the cars because under it's skin not much has changed in 15. _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: ProFox@leafe.com Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
