Before the quarterly Divisional Meeting I sent an email to the Sales Director and asked him, if our company was a car company, which one would it be ?

Honda - known for reliablity

Audi - known for technology ( or at least a technical slogan ! )

Mercedes - quality at a price

As he drives one I shouldn't have been that surprised when he answered Mercedes.

Do Mercedes send you 3 engines in a day before one works ?

Do you hire a team of mechanics to check your Mercedes over for a week before you drive it ?

Sometime in the future we'll ship software to our customers that they don't find bugs in within an hour.

Sometime in the future our customers will realise they don't need their own large test teams as the software we send them just works

Then we might consider ourselves a Mercedes

Theres a city in my mind
Come along and take that ride
And its all right, baby, its all right
And its very far away
But its growing day by day
They can tell you what to do
But theyll make a fool of you
And its all right, baby, its all right

Were on a road to nowhere
