Does ZD Net have editors?

I only ask because Liam Proven drew my attention to this piece of drivel.

Desktop computing failed?  I must have missed it.  It's lack of failure certainly isn't to do with the Blue Screen of Death - something which I haven't personally seen in about 3 or 4 years.  And that was down to a really badly written Logitech driver.

Conversations with a bank...

Me: Hey, while I was making a deposit you emailed me an alert saying I had insufficient funds
Bank: We did?
Me: Yes.
Bank: Let's have a lot then. (clickety clickety)
Me: So?
Bank: Er...  you appear to have plenty of money in the account... nothing large pending... nope... nothing to see here
Me: So why send the email?
Bank: Dunno
Me: Shall I ignore it then?
Bank: Probably best.  Have a nice day...

Gah.

After Friday's debacle, the sooner I can take my debt elsewhere the better!
