    Why is it that people can still get away with blaming computers for their mistakes these days?? Maybe 10 years ago, there was enough mystery still surrounding PCs for it to work, but in this day and age, a computer error that multiplies a direct-debit by 100 should be viewed with the same scepticism as the phrase "The cheque's in the post".

    The world would be so much better off if stupidity was a terminal disease.
