    "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.)

    Well, there is that red "X". Plus, the yellow triangle thingy looks like a cartoon, so it might be clickable. What to do, what to do?

    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.

    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)?

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

    False assumption #2: the moon landing was real.

    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!

    Is it just me, or is 13 22 73 not a phone number? It reads more like a date except that there is no 13 or 22nd month.

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

  • Jonathan Wilson (unregistered) in reply to Suomynona

    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

  • test guy (unregistered) in reply to hambone

    ummmm no they didn't land on the moon with a 386. that was in 1969. they did it with slide rules!
