By default they provide you with various different alerts, such as when a large amount clears your account, if you have a low balance, etc.

I had to chuckle at the alert I saw today when I logged in. How quickly things change when you don’t live with your girlfriend’s parents anymore:

This month I spent over $200 on groceries, compared to last month\'s $1.87

The $75,000 dollar lamp

I can only assume that lamp cost $75,000 dollars.

Take a look at the following screenshot:

My Family screenshot

In the episode, Ben (the character looking at the computer screen) claims he is on the website OldPals.com. However, we can clearly see the address bar says “C:\Documents and Settings\Work?\Local Settings\Temp\WebC.tmp\index.html”. (The ‘?’ after “Work” is a character I can’t decipher.) You’ll also notice the scroll bar is at the very bottom of the page; we never see what’s at the top. I thought it was funny how the address bar immediately caught my eye. :-P
