I was rather disapointed with 1080. The board vanises in the mountain at
some points. It all looked to .... slick

I did a 1080 in Coolboardes 2. I'm looking forward to Coolboarders 3.
That is my ... (hehehe) ... top banana..

To bad it didn't work on mac.. 

Here is another nice Bill Gates story:


***
Bill Gates recently had some coments on General Motors:

"If General Motors would be as progressive as the computer industry, we
would all make cars that would cost 25 dollars and would need 1 litre of
petrol to travel 250 km."

General Moters came with the next reply:

If GM would handle technology like Microsoft does, then:

1. Your car would just stop twice a day without any proper reason. You
would except it, start the car again and drive on.

2. you had to buy a new car every time they change the roadsigns.

3. All displays on the dashboard would say the same:
GENERAL ERROR

4. Apple Macintosh would be the builder of a car that ran on solar
energy, 5 times faster, 3 times more easy but only alowed at 5% of all
roads.

5. The airbag would first ask if you were sure you would want to use it.

6. Your car would need all citymaps weather you use them or not. If you
would take some maps out, the performance of your car would only be 50%
of normal performance.

7. The car could only transport 1 person at the time or in case of a
car95 or carNT, you would need to buy extra expansive chairs.

8. You had to learn to drive every time you buy a new car, course the
cars would be to different.

9. You had to push 'start' to shut it down.
