they took away the clutch pedal.

anyways, cars are not a good analogy to computers over the same time 
scale, unless you want to go back to the days of the model T, where the 
3 pedals operated clutch bands on a planetary transmission, and the 
throttle and ignition timing were levers on the steering wheel, and the 
brakes were a hand lever.

computers have evolved far faster than automobiles over the last 40 
years that I've been in this industry.   maybe I should start whining 
about lower case, and these damn interactive guis, after all hollerith 
punchcards and batch processing was good enough in the 1970s!   Why, we 
could get amazing stuff done with 8K words of core, and a 1000K word 
hard disk.
