Guess not. :P

My ATM hate goes out to ATMs with touch screens and no "Did you really
mean to hit the maximum-withdrawal button or was the screen just
misaligned" check before dispensing enough cash to make an outstanding
check bounce. There's a boatload of hatefulness in those things that's
far worse than just having to hit one extra key.
