	You know what always cracks me up about ATM's?   Braille on the keys, especially on the driveup versions, this is the biggest waste of money I have ever seen, even on a standalone walk-up atm, I've tried it, and there's no way to make an ATM talk to you via audio, so what use is the braille?  if you can't SEE the screen, braille is pretty useless, no?  And the concept of Braille on a driveup ATM is just too ridiculous to even go into  =]
