I was pointing out how quickly things changed in the automobile

industry.  I don't think anyone would argue that the computer

industry is less volatile than the automobile industry.  

I'm also dismayed by the government's investment of billions of

dollars in General Motors.  (I'm not sure if the amount is closer

to 50 billion or 70 billion.)

I'm not sure if you are referring to me there.   I have at times

pointed out what I consider to be weaknesses of the

serialization library.  I don't think I've criticised you personally.
