Also, diebold machines do *not* and I repeat *not* have any sort of recent
Microsoft patch set installed. NONE of them do, and they require a diebold
certified engineer (you know, a guy with a cylendar key that you can open
up a gumball machine with) to install ANY updates, since diebold won't let
anyone else into their machines.
