Per Bergvall Apr 22, 2010:
The 9th reminder just came It's 0900, and the 9th reminder arrived promptly at 0855. Please put a stop to this.
Per Bergvall Apr 22, 2010:
Not a linguistic issue But is there a reason why the reminder has been sent out 8 times this past night, at 0055, 0155, 0255, 0355, 0455, 0555, 0655 and 0755? Should we expect another reminder at 0855?

Hvordan Microsoft gikk i sin egen musefelle I versjon 5 av Internet Explorer la Microsoft til en funksjon hvor brukere automatisk ble sendt til søketjenesten i nettstedet MSN dersom de brukte adresselinjen til å skrive inn et domenenavn som ikke eksisterte. Nyttig for dem som ville brukt en søkemotor for å finne fram, bortkastet tid for andre. (digi.no)
