Great! Here's the secret of I.T Peps

The natioal Audit Office has accidentally revealed details of the NHS's troubled multi-billion-pound IT programme "Connecting for Health".
The watchdog released a PDF report with passages electronically blacked out to hide sensitive information. The only problem was that by highlighting the hidden text, and then copying and pasting it into a text editor, all was revealed.
Amongst the details were the 'estimated costs' for each part of the NHS Connecting for Health programme. It also said that EDS's contract to provide an NHS-wide email system would have cost £212m if it had not been cancelled. It also said that BT was 'fined' £11.6 million for under-performance.
The blacked out bits also contained unreported criticisms from NAO officials about the Connecting for Health.
