-Caveat Lector-

I struck trouble with this this morning. All the (Australian) Commonwealth Savings 
Banks ATMs, Australia wide, wouldn't give out more than $50. I believe this was 
clearly a Y2K contingency in case of a run on the bank.

Commonwealth ATMs working again

Commonwealth Bank automatic teller machines across Australia malfunctioned this 
morning, stopping thousands of customers withdrawing more than $50 or using EFTPOS 
facilities.

Bank spokesman Byran Fitzgerald said the cause of the mishap was unknown, but all 
facilities were operational again at 11.45am.

He said any customers who used another bank's ATM during the disruption would not be 
charged a fee for the transaction.

Mr Fitzgerald said the cause of the problem is still unknown, but it was fixed after 
technicians reset the bank's computer system.
