| | According to a recent news report on Yahoo news, a mysterious computer glitch (cause unknown) has caused a house in Indiana to be valued at $400 million. The actual price of the house is $121,900. As a result of this glitch - the house which usually carried a property tax of $1,500 has been billed a humongous tax of $8 million. But that's not the end of the story. Somehow these figures propagated to the tax returns filed by the state - giving rise to a demand of $3.1 million of tax money to be deposited in the state treasury.

lol, must be a Windows glitch, usually, it's Windows which causes these problems, or the software that keeps the database is causing the problem.

And who said you couldn't move into a million dollar property over night.

Interesting find m^e, I wonder what the next computer glitch does. Hopefully it will be a wide-scale desicration of Windows O/S. Although, that would bugger me up since I unfortunately use MS Windows.
