NOTE FROM KIM:
The Top 8 Signs Your
Bank’s ATMs Run Windows
Bank’s ATMs Run Windows
8> The guy in front of you at the ATM spends 10 minutes playing Minesweeper.
7> Your new ATM card isn’t compatible with the machines at Apple Bank.
6> Every $20 dispensed smells suspiciously like Bill Gates’ back pocket.
5> Only the original Pentium bug could screw up your bank balance that badly.
4> Every few years it takes a hundred bucks out of your account, works poorly for six months, loses important info, requires too much time to relearn, and calls the whole process an “upgrade”.
3> Your account balance is displayed as the number of times over Bill Gates could own you.
2> “Bob the Moneyclip” always popping up to ask you if you need help.
and the Number 1 Sign Your Bank’s ATMs Run Windows…
1> It’s the first ATM to suffer from cache leaks.
