According to industry experts, crash-test dummies will eventually become a thing of the past as auto manufacturers increasingly turn to computer-generated crashes to obtain the data they need.

Crash-test dummies cost up to £50,000 each, so the move to computers should save a bob or two. Indeed, no expensive software will be necessary, just a modest investment in Vista, because, if my partner’s laptop is anything to go by, it will crash of its own accord with monotonous frequency.

I use a Mac by the way, and wonder if anyone can tell me why the f16 key always gets dirty? My fingers never go anywhere near it but nonetheless it gets just as grimy as the return key.

  1. In my experience all Microsoft operating systems have been unreliable until well into their 2nd or 3rd edition, so I will not be checking out Vista for a couple of years.

    I’ve never used a Mac so I cant comment on the f16 key…. does it equate to the grubby f10 key on a Microsoft system?
