bpiltz writes "A funk band in Harrisonburg, VA, called Midnight Spaghetti, has posted a story with photos about a newly installed Diebold Opteva 520 ATM at Carnegie Mellon University that crashed, then rebooted. The Windows XP operating system initialized without the actual ATM software. The result was a public desktop computer, with only a touch screen interface, left wide open for the amusement of the students at the most wired university in the U.S. Interestingly, Diebold is one of the leading manufacturers of e-voting machines."

You see nothing!

There's nothing here to see!

Relax.

Go home.

When you awaken, you will have an overwhelming sense of calm and accomplishment.

Need we even link to the long series of Diebold voting expose's? How this company is still in business amazes me.

I crashed an Amtrack ticket selling kiosk once.

It went to an OS/2 Warp boot screen. This was less than 2 ears ago.

Diebold also manufactures the drive-thru apparatuses you see in banks and drive-thru pharmacies with the tubes and 2-way doors etc...

I miss my tubes...
