A few people will be racking up some frequent flyer miles at bargain rates. U.S. Airways mistakenly sold tickets for a few cities at $1.86 plus fees. They're blaming this on a "computer glitch".
It made me think about how willing people are to blame errors on computers. We didn't make a mistake, it's the computer's fault! Would this work with any other machine? If it's a nice day and I somehow drive to the park instead of work, will my boss believe that it was due to a "car glitch"?
