I guess I was just hoping that the
astonishing amount of genius and human
achievement that went into these
computers might push them towards more
equal *status* with vintage autos. Of
course, that would require a utopian
outlook.
Cars, despite their ubiquity, are
relatively crude machines.

Automobiles
were used by individuals for four generations, the models are
built to appeal to different personalities and social strata.
A significant number of people in three of those four generations fixed
their own cars, so they had some knowledge of how they worked.
Almost everyone can
relate to autos. In many countries, learning to
drive happens during the late teenage / early twenties, and tends to
leave an indelible mark on people, as things tend to do at that stage
of life.
Raise your hand if you ever got laid on a 4341.
