So, i changed my account from HSBC to some bank called ABC, each one is worse than the other.

When i went to HSBC Bank to close my account, the guy overthere asked me:

HSBC Dude: Why do you want to close your account? HSBC is one of the best Banks world wide!
Me : Well, Am trying to withdraw money from my account for the last three days, and every ATM machine i used crashed or refused to give me money!
HSBC Dude: Crashed ?! , The ATM Service is up and running, it’s working, there must be something wrong!
Me: I don’t know, and i don’t care, i want my money!
HSBC Dude: Listen, how about we offer you a loan?
Me: ???? – I don’t want loans, I want my money!
HSBC Dude: Ok, i’ll close your account, although i know that you will come back and reopen your account!
Me: Believe me, i won’t, specially after i saw this  (and I showed him this picture):

HSBC Dude: !?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! What does this mean?

Me: – He didn’t understand what i meant. Its your ATM Machine crashing!
HSBC Dude: I see, Ok, can i have two IDs please?

So, whats the point of the picture above,  you will think that (of course ATM Machines are computers running Windows) and I say ( not most, but ok), but the trick here is not Windows, the trick here is Windows XP SERVICE PACK 1 or less maybe!
Service Pack 1! Windows XP SP1 crashes more than Windows 95, and the ATM is running SP1 ? Trillions of Vulnerabilities!

How can you tell that its SP1 not SP2 or SP3? Since Windows XP Service Pack 2, Microsoft stopped showing the word Professional or Home Edition Under the Windows XP Logo during the boot phase, Period.

So, I think the best way to keep my money secure is at home, I have a Safe running Windows NT 4.0 Service Pack 6 :D
