No, that's not true. http://auto.howstuffworks.com/ignition-system4.htm
Older systems used an extra part, the section that "does the job of breaking the current to the coil", and you can bet your hat it caused you to work on your car more frequently.
You don't seem to realize something: mechanics are never "perfect." They always get screwed up in one way or another over time. Electronics minimizes this.

I don't need a website to tell me how to set the timing. In the old days mechanics made mistakes, in the new days, computers make the mistake. The mistakes are there. Computers don't fix the problem, instead they create a problem and another computer has to figure out what the problem is. This brings back the point that old cars were better to fix, mechanical mistakes were easier to point and fix.

The truth is that Windows isn't THAT bad, but the more important truth is that it is getting better everyday......Because Windows gets fewer bugs and fewer security issues and fewer BSOD's with every release. And with every release Windows gets slightly easier for the consumer.

How is windows getting better, they create more bugs than they actually fix in the previous releases. Win2000 was a good release, but XP? Failure?
The only way to make a quality OS (for linux & windows) is to make the OS, fix all the bugs and not ADD new features. Every release just needs to fix bugs ONLY! As long as OS's add features they will create more and more bugs.

Linux is hard? Is that because schools and our parents didn't train you on Linux since you were born? Linux is hard to some people because its a new OS for them. Someone going from Linux all there life and never touched a windows machine will think windows is the hardest OS.

there is one word to describe why linux is hard:
dependencies

Well, I actually have more than one word as a reply and solution to your problem:
apt-get --> Debian GNU/Linux, Libranet, Knoppix etc
Synaptic --> RedHat, Fedora and so on
URPMI --> Mandrake...
So, unless you haven't installed a GNU/Linux distribution for a long time, then you have no excuse for saying that dependencies are still a problem ;)
Oh, and enjoy Windows if you like it so much. You know something? I must have woken up in another Universe when the Blaster and its variants appeared a few months ago :rolleyes: Ah, and I promise that I won't mention the 70.000+ worms, trojans and viruses (not virii) that exist for Windows.
Have a nice day...
