    this is obviously a problem with the user. Everybody knows you're not supposed to use a magic number as your PIN! How am I supposed to know where all these '7's and '2's and '4's and all the others come from??

    Wow. You don't understand what a question mark is yet you've used it yourself. When I said, "Threaten anyone today tough guy?", I was asking whether you had threatened anyone. It was a question, not a statement of fact.

    For someone who gets so upset at people who make programming errors, I'd expect a bit more thoughtful reading of posts. Now go make idle threats on the Internet against people - BECAUSE THEY'RE SO SCARY!!!

    Thanks!
    By the way: Have you ever thought of editing your posts to take out all the poo and replace it with intelligence? (And I know this forum doesn't let you edit posts...)

    I would reply to some of these posts, but I don't want to come across as a limp-wristed sissy.

    Of course next month failure will be 8.

    What me also intriges is took it 3 weeks to find the bug and fix it or was that a manager approach saying yes we know there is a bug and we will fix it in the next release in 3 weeks.

    Drewsky:
    Um, anyone think that maybe they should have those people with 7 in their PIN...CHANGE IT?  Then it would be a non-issue until they got it fixed.  I know it does not solve the code problem straight away...but it does solve the problem that customers are having.  Just a thought

    Yeah... Just insert your card, enter your PIN, and select the "Change my PIN Number" option...

    Oh, wait... I can't enter my PIN!!
