“Or possibly while crashing”

Talking about BMW’s fantabulous new iDrive system (Car & Driver magazine):
“The navigation system includes an 80 gigabyte hard-drive, 15 of which can be used for music.”
“For heaven sake,” I cry. “The hard-drive on my ‘pyooter, which is an antique, is 60 gigabytes. Rigs are available now with 160 gigs.”
“The display offers a split screen option to, say, view a map while playing with the radio, or possibly also crashing.”
“You added that last part,” my wife said.
“No I didn’t,” I said. “It’s in here — they wrote it.
Now do you see why I’ve subscribed to this magazine over 45 years?”

  • “‘Pyooter” equals computer.
  • “My wife” of 41+ years is “Linda.”
  • RE: “Now do you see why I’ve subscribed to this magazine over 45 years.......” —I’ve subscribed to Car & Driver magazine since college; I graduated in 1966.
