BofA has absolutely zero concept of security. Without going into detail, I have it on good authority that their "high-tech" electronically-controlled *physical* security infrastructure is vulnerable to infiltration by anyone who is barely literate. I shudder to think of what their network security must present to a determined attacker. It doesn't surprise me in the least that they are installing Windows(!) on machines which dispense coin of the realm. Largely as a result of this sort of vulnerability, I have no respect for their process or their professionalism, and I don't expect I'll ever bank with them. Mr O crafted these words on 06/30/04 18:33: Machines that shouldn't be running Windows... The new ATM's installed by BofA. Makes me want to switch to a lesser evil. I only use BofA for convienance. --- "T.

Of course, many of these Internet-connected highly sensitive devices are running Windows, which makes them a lucrative and easy target, but I digress. __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!?
