Yeah they are good ones alright. Behind the scenes it is a major screw-up every working day! Customers only see that tip of the iceberg.

I've been reading this whole Thread - and catching up on it this morning. Very interesting to watch. Well, your comment below reminded me of a situation that occurred with me many years ago. I had done a little investing in Stock - and, when I mean a little - it was less than $1K that I owned. Well, this one month I got my stock report from my bank - and it seems there was a MAJOR error on there. Since, all of a sudden - it showed I had made a purchase of $2 Million dollars in some stock. Of course, that wasn't me - but, some transaction error. I did get back to the bank and told them of the error - and it was rectified. But, in the end, I am sure someone would have eventually found the error. But, it was kinda sad to watch all that go away! But, for the Hell of it - I kept that statement - and I should have had it framed - as it was quite a shocker at the time! -K- -----Original Message----- From: profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com [mailto:profoxtech-boun...@leafe.com] On Behalf Of Geoff Flight Sent: Monday, February 23, 2009 9:37 PM I used to program with a bank. If customers only knew the screwups that occurred which were reversed before they got to see it. The day we took $6.5B out of someone's account by accident was a classic. That kinda showed up on the balance sheet pretty quickly. Or the $2,020,202.02 interest placed in someones $35 account! Yep, the MS screwup is exceedingly small news...
