Hi,

Let me do the maths in a really transparent way.  It is zero times some 
random number, this number represents  seats, processors and if you are 
standing up or sitting down and you may add other numbers to this the 
choice is yours. Sum total a bill of exactly zero.

So the bill is a demand for nothing, I suppose in this format it breaks 
the paradigm of billing procedures. In some cultures this would allow it 
to be classified as a joke.

As for was it the intention to be a joke, no, I think it way beyond 
that, I will take a chance and declare it a joke. On three you are 
encouraged to laugh, one, two, three. :-)))))

Terms and conditions apply, if you did not laugh there is a refund of 
zero due, if you did laugh you owe zero, value of the joke can go up as 
well as down, your mileage may vary, let the install begin.
