I won a radio shark and headphones!

    All I had to do was fill in a speaker evaluation form from yesterday, and now I've won a radio shark and headphones. Nice.

    Wow!

    This is exactly the type of thing that I warned the local brainless radio anouncer about.

    Driving into work, listening to the brainless chatter between adds, and about 2% music content suddenly I hear the following;

    Announcer: "Hey check this out" --- dial tone, followed by many many DTMF tones..

    ANZ - "Welcome to ANZ phone banking - Please type in your card number" - Many DTMF tones

    ANZ - "Please enter your phone banking PIN" - 6 DTMF tones

    ANZ - "Press 1 for account balance, 2 for ....." - 1 DTMF tone

    ANZ - "The current balance of your Saving account is zero dollars and 48 cents"

    Announcer - "Hey what about that! I'm in for a great weekend." - Continues with brainless chatter.

    I go WTF!! And start ringing the station to let the announcer know of the error of his ways... When I finally got through to let him know that he had just let all of Canberra know his phone banking PIN, it was like he was hit with a brick... I suspect that he changed it right then and there.

    People simply are not aware of the level of technology out there.

    Great find Mikal.
