    Can we really trust a bank that runs Internet Explorer on Windows 98?

      @thelastgherkin Yes, because Win98. If it ran IE on 7 it would be a completely different story.

      @thelastgherkin I've seen some running Windows NT4 and some with some sort of Windows CE. I always facepalm when I see video billboards using Windows instead of using Linux.

        @broniebrown Lol, my mall has a giant billboard that's stuck on a failed POST screen. Everyone refuses to fix it. xD

          @minti There's this mall in the city next to mine, it's called Maschwitz Mall. I've been thinking for a time about climbing to the roof and removing one of the "L"s. It would become "Maschwitz Mal" that coukld be translated as "Maschwitz is in a bad condition"

          @minti I've seen a lot of error messages and even blue screens of death on these billboards.

            @broniebrown I've only ever seen BSoDs on self-checkouts. :( Well, and a generic error popup on an arcade game.

                    @abigpony Oh yeah it was when communistprime brought up some OC naming convention he either came up with or found somewhere I can't remember which. 'Cuz I like ice cream and I like to play stepmens, hence Ice Cream Stepman.

              @redenchilada I think I may have been in the right time and right place to encounter these marvelous fails of technology.
