If you haven't owned an Acura, I don't know how much you can say about this.
Your experiences fit with what other Acura owners say; I don't doubt you or Acura quality.
I do how to count cars, and when you are stuck in 3-5 mph freeway traffic jams, there is little else to do.
I saw between 15 and 30 conked-out cars on the shoulders. About half were Acuras (possibly all of them the big boxy one that was like an Accord). Even more incredible, none of the conked cars were actual branded Hondas.
Hondas might not break, but Acuras do. I recall being snowed in, in Boston 10 years ago. The situation caused the traffic to move at 5 mph. Many cars could not take this and expired: about half of the dead cars along the sides of the road were Acuras (not Hondas), and the rest were misc. American cars.
I thought an Acura was just supposed to be a better Honda.

What is the current status anyway on Lovecraft copyrights and characters? Last time I recalled, they had gone into public domain due to the author having died long ago, and then the copyright laws changed and they were protected again.
Pretty soon, all the cars will be always on the Internet anyway. Watch for the following in your future:
The MyDoom worm: immediately crashes car into brick wall once you go over 55 mph.
Popup ads in the windshield are an ever-growing visibility problem until you download the Google dashboard which includes a windshield wiper that removes them.
Cops pull you over for overclocking
The same grease-stained mechanic who works on your Apple car also works on your nice white iPod, leaving permanent smudges on the case.
The two "lifestyle" machines shown in the links even look like laptops. The Sofec is like laptop frozen in a certain open position, thus lacking the "adjust for optimal viewing" ability that hinged laptops have. Neither has a separated keyboard, which makes the comparison to the iMac all the more out of place.
Lifestyle computers, otherwise known as 'computers with everything contained in a single unit', are extremely popular in Japan, where living spaces are much smaller then in the North America. Probably the most popular that I know of that was released are the Apple iMacs.
What about Apple's own Powerbook and iBook? And all the notebooks from other companies? How does a notebook not county as a 'computers with everything contained in a single unit'. iMacs have never quite met this definition, having the keyboards as a separate part.
A SUN in a jar? If you think Darl is bad, just wait to see the look on Scott McNealy's face once everyone starts creating his server in their mayonaise jars.
"Well, let's check the traps: 3 repeating phantasms, 18 roaming terminal vapors, and 6 semitranslucent sessile spectres. Oh. I went back to Columbia University and picked up some of those new invisible, but talkative digital agents"
Apologies to Ronnie and the Daytonas and their "GTO" song:
"Little SCO, youre really lookin fine Three lawsuits and a make me pay $699 Listen to Darl yackin up now, listen to Darl why-ee-eye-ine Cmon and turn it on, wind it up, blow it out SCO"
I always thought I wanted to ask Reds owner Marge Scott what she thought about the Designated Hitler rule. Pete Rose has bet me a bucket of skyline chili on this one.
I, for one, welcome our surly obese juvenile overlords with their excellent hand-eye coordination. I will only look on with admiration as they mature into an entire generation of Baron Harkonnen's.
And if they need someone to direct them to sources of slaves to toil in their lardmines, they know where to look.

It is from Mike Oldfield's "Tubular Bells" album cover.
(big bad Microsoft, trying to kill off its competitors using SCO as a weapon)
Now I have that Pat Benetar song in my head all day. Thanks a lot. "Stop using SCO as a weapon. Stop using...."

Count these as "stiff notebooks". They are a level below the iMac, which has had adjustable keyboard/monitor position: you don't compromise as much.
Spelling correction in title.

I'd be happy to give them a micropayment for their nanotubes.

They'll pull the plug on this project as soon as a giant marshmallow stomps the campus chapel.

First, the human frogger on "Seinfeld". Now, they are turning college campuses into Pac-Man? "Inky, Blinky, and Clyde: coming to a college near you!"

Autozone? This is way out of the typical "tech sphere"; I would have expected suits against other tech companies.
Now SCO is going to provoke the wrath of the automotive industry and enthusiasts; an entire new group of people to learn to hate SCO.
One reason for Slashdotters to love Oldfield's Music VR Projects: they use Ogg Vorbis for the audio compression.

I prefer "Video Games Make Kids Fat, Violent, Swedish; Experts Say"
I like the idea of kids running around going "Bork Bork Bork" on their way to Babbage's or McDonalds.

Make that "world's best composer", and you might be onto something.
In other words: "1993 called. They want their Rend386 demos back"
