Oh hell yhea it's old. But sometimes older is better. I love computers and technology. But they all have their place. A computer does not belong in a car (except for entertainment). Nor does a computer belong in control of an airplane (at least without an override). The 707 I flew on in the military had hydralic-assist controls. You could loose the main and the redudant system and still bring it in. It still had manual controls ran to all the control surfaces. You would think your arms were going to fall off by the time you landed but if beats the hell outta leaving a "smoking hole". Automation is not the answer to everything. Even the newest technology has a place, lest us not become to dependant. Fear the BSOD, it would give new meaning to "Fatal Execeptions has occured" when you see it at 400 knots and 50 feet above the ground (with a nose down pitch). BTW I hate computer controlled cars too.
