I applied for a new credit card the other week, one that awards you airmiles (might as well get something back when you spend your hard earned cash!) When it came I had to register it as is normal, however the registration dialogue asked if I had one of those little pocket calculator style machines that generates secret codes, I did but it's batteries had run out (hadn't used it for years!) So, I popped out to the shops and bought a couple of new CR032 batteries, fitted them into the machine, and... nothing not a sausage, bugger.
Then I had a brainwave, perhaps my Wife had a machine lurking in a drawer somewhere? Luckily she did but guess what, the batteries were also dead and were a completely different size to the ones I bought! So, I went out and bought yet more little batteries, fitted them and bingo the machine sprung into life! So, I went back to the point in the registration dialogue where I'd left off and continued, after filling in all my details and pressing the "next" button a few times I got to the end and successfully registered my new card, the little machine was never even mentioned...
