	Sometimes I wish all the good'ole-day-boys would just look at their
parents.  I'm sure there was some 'techno goodie that their parents didn't
like either 'cause it was so different than what they had in their day.  You
learned to deal with it didn't you?  It was easier because you were born right
into it -- grew up with it; to you it was like chewing bubble gum.  All the
little kids nowadays with computers all around them will look at them as just
another tool that slow daddy's and mommy's will get upset about.  You all should
just look in the mirror and say:  When did I stop looking into the future?  I
hope to god that I won't wake up one day and just stop looking at the future.

	What do you think cars will be like in 1990 or 2000 or 2010?  Even 
though those numbers seem far away they aren't.  It's a little kid's teenage
hood.  1960 was 25 years ago.  Doesn't seem that long huh.  In 25 years it will
be 2010.  Remember the movie 2010?  It ain't some future to far away.  Just
because you can't strip down a car like you used to be able to doesn't mean
its too complicated -- it means you ain't learned nothin' in all the time
the manufactures did.  Do you really think people put stuff together without
making sure it will work under harsh conditions?  Don't compare personal
computers to what are put into cars.  They are just not built the same.  Get
off your soapbox and read a little.

End of sermon.
