Our largets local bank switched to NT and since that we have had big
problems with the ATM:s. A friends friend has a couple of pictures of various
ATM (NT) traps. However, I don't really know who to blame.. When the ATM's
restart one can see that the ATM starts a DOS-application just as it's
starting up. The DOS-program is the actual ATM-client.
Blaming NT for a bad DOS-application isn't right, but I find it strange for
them to chose the "secure system NT" to run a DOS application.
Why not just use DOS?
Oh, well.. I guess it's too complicated for me.
