My apple is working

My PC is also working

Hmm … I think I’ll go to an ATM. Normally I have almost no cash. If something happens to the banks, I will have to survive with what grows in the garden until they fix the bug 🙂

I think we’re used to the expectation that problems percolate downwards. That is if a given layer is affected everything below it is similarly affected (but not upwards).

In this case though, as you say, it seems not to be the case.

It had to happen sooner or later ! Noel.

Yep.  And I hope lessons are learned.  Nothing is infallible.  Just like monocrops getting devastated from an infestation.  Much better to spread the resources so that you’re not sh*t-out-of-luck when something happens.  The phrase “Don’t put all your eggs in one basket” seems to be regularly forgotten.

1. #2 son does IT in the financial sector (he claims he isn’t a banker, but it’s close. Where did I go wrong?). He reckons in his firm they have just as many people trying to break new software before it is released as they have writing new stuff. I don’t suppose the accountants like it but if new software screws up a lot of people could lose a lot of money. Not me, what I have is in a sock under the bed, 😜
