"how to handle, indeed?"

Simple. Press the big [OK] button.

If there'd been [Yes][No][FileNotFound][Cancel] buttons, then the decision would, of course, have been significantly harder.

I'm curious what the previous credit limit was.
What were the conditions that have been improved?

They say a good man can earn a dollar a day. With this special one-time offer, for you only, you can earn about a dollar a week.

(At 40 hours a week, it'll take about 25 weeks to do 60,203 minutes.)

As amusing as that is that display is a separate computer system not hooked into the actual operation of the elevator. Those displays usually shows ads or weather or something.

That being said I had that same BIOS on my 486, so that isn't exactly a new machine they have going there.

Indeed, this is for advertising/information, I wouldn't expect someone to be stupid enough to run equipment that could potentially threaten human life on a 486/PC...

That looks like a CRT monitor, the last I checked they are quite deep in size. How the heck they fit that on a shelf outside of the main elevator walls??

That panel looks wide enough that they could probably run a compartment back into the shaft without worrying about bumping into an elevator on the left/right of it.

FTFY.

For the elevator, just write "Zeppelin!" on a piece of paper, stick it on, and press a button.

While that's true, do you trust a company who can't get something simple like showing a few ads right?

If they can't do that, what are they like at operating Elevators (which I assume would be a more complex task)?

What's wrong with using a 486 for mission critical systems?

If I'm not mistaken, the Boeing 747 uses a bunch of 386s/486s for handling flight/navigation features.

Moon landing 1969; i386 released 1985.

False assumption #1: NASA can't use a product until it's released to the public.

False assumption #2: the moon landing was real.

That's clearly a meat pie, not a sandwich.

One of the long narrow ones invented so you could eat them one handed whilst driving and talking on your mobile phone.

The first i386 release was in 1985
Apollo 11 was in 1969, looks like they invented time travel too...

The ultimately funny thing about ANZ's $0 credit limit is that they are currently running ads (in NSW at least) about how many new ATM's they have installed in the last year... So now you can get a cash advance on your $0 credit limit from more places!

Actually the display is of the elevator control system. Normally it shows four elevators and which floor they're on.

ANZ stands for Australia and New Zealand Banking Group, its a major bank here in Australia (and New Zealand).

The 13 number in the WTF IS a phone number here in Australia, its a special kind of number that businesses use so that they can connect you to the closest branch/office/etc
