Ummm, the same person who figured out it was cheaper to just build all the ATM's with the same keypad, whether they were a drive-up one or one in the wall at the mall?
A bunch of low-life attorneys made a "ton" of money on this. But, it turns out that the braille keypads didn't really help because blind people can't read ATM screens! So, the NFB sued to have voice recognition/response systems installed on all ATMs. [Sigh.] Lucky for them it's the 21st century...
