Worm hits Windows-based ATMs

At the 24hr store in Colne there's three ATMs in a row, and everyone queues up for the ones with the mono screen. There's a very pretty colour one, but it seems people have started to associate pretty displays with unreliability. Hardly surprising, really :-)

There is a internet booth at a mall near me but hardly anyone uses it since anymore ever since its copy of windows 2000 kept rebooting radomly meaning you'd lose your the time you'd paid for.

This I don't understand. I pretty much have to use Windows 2000 at home, because some of the software I need to use just isn't available on other platforms. But for an internet booth?! Linux should be fine if all someone wants to do is surf... and of course, much more stable.

An ATM does nothing that requires more computing power than a C64.

Hit the nail right on the head :-)
