All you need is for a keystroke to go intermittent, and you don’t know what you’ve done. It happened for me when I bought some stocks. Thank goodness Scottrade was watching and wouldn’t accept the order.
I am still wondering about the $40k computer. That does not sound like something you would buy (or can buy) online for a home (instead something that goes in a rack in a company)

It sounded like fun for a while but one false stroke on the keyboard and OMG.

Once keyed in $8000 for $80 item on Ebay. Panicked until I found the cancel button.
