    For the software to work you need to be running the Windows XP or Mac OS X Leopard (v10.5) operating systems, or more recent versions, together with a colour inkjet or laserjet printer.

    Typical! Even in April Fools jokes Linux users get the short straw:p

    It's not that much different from those who try to print their own cheques. Until you send them back because they won't process - and point them to the specification. Where the paper / ink requirements alone run to nearly 400 pages.

    Coming soon, MyQE, an iPhone app that runs in the cloud and enables those up to their eyeballs in debt to buy in their own debts using money they haven't got. Without even the cost and hassle of printing wads of banknotes.
