To comply with a law that stupidly did not give skating rinks examptions from having parking spaces for disabled.

That's a good one J. I dont think they get it. But if you were\nsnow blind, you might (see one that is), and they MIGHT get it.

Because all ATM's are made in the same factory, and they all have braile keypads, regardless of where they are intended to be installed.  It's just cheaper to make them that way.

a blind person would have to have it read to them somehow but than again how could a blind person turn on the computer to begin with

In order to withdraw cash out of the atm machine.. basically bank may provide you with an ATM card of Debit card.... ATM card can only be used at the specified ATM.s of the bank and definetly cannot withdraw any foreign currency... but with a debit card u can do so!!!!!!!!!

I am blind myself and i can see the screen and keyboard clearly in my mind. The other thing i can see is your blatant disregard for knowledge in general even though i am blind your stupidity is very visible to me.

I, being legally blind, cannot drive in the state of Florida, where I live.  However, some states allow one to drive with devices that allow the person to see, such as a monocular aid.  With regard to the car stealing problem, you may need to hide the keys REALLY WELL.

Why, you planning on robbing an ATM machine?  Just kidding.\n\nOne thing I love about ATMs is you can get cash anywhere, you don't have to wait long lines to see a teller, and you can withdraw or deposite on ATMs.  There are drive-thrus available as well.  =)

I'm blind, and I drive all the time!  I just have huge medical bills, and a tremendous amount of tickets!  ;)

The story begins back in pre-calculator days, when there were cash registers. We're not talking cash registers that scan, but mechanical things where you actually had to push the keys hard to punch numbers. The cash registers were designed with 0 at the bottom, and the numbers going up. Why did cash registers choose this organization? I was unable to find any clear answer. The people who designed cash registers evidently just thought it was the obvious approach--lowest numbers at the bottom, highest numbers at the top. \n\nIn fact, the earliest cash registers had multiple keys. You didn't enter 7 and 9 and 5 for $7.95; there was a separate column of keys for each decimal place. Think of a matrix, with the bottom row of 0's, next a row of 1's, then a row of 2's, going up. The right hand column would represent single units (cents), the next column for tens, then hundreds, etc. So, to enter $7.95, you'd actually enter 700, then 90, then 5. \n\nWhen calculators made their appearance, they copied the cash register format. In fact, some of the earliest mechanical calculators had multiple columns, like the cash register. The earliest calculators had keypads that were ten rows high and generally 8 or 9 columns across. \n\nWhen hand-held and electronic calculators made their appearance, they copied the keypad arrangement of the existing calculators--0 at the bottom, 1-2-3 in the next row, 4-5-6 in the next row, and 7-8-9 in the top row, from left to right. So, basically, they evolved from the cash register. \n\nThe Touch-Tone phone emerged in the early 1960s. Before that, there were rotary dials, with the numbers starting at 1 at the top right and then running counterclockwise around the dial to 8-9-0 across the bottom. Why would "0" be on the bottom? Probably because the dialing mechanism was pulse, not tone. Since they couldn't do zero pulses for 0, they did ten pulses, and hence put the 0 at the end.  \n\nThere seem to be three reasons that the Touch-Tone phone keypad was designed as it was: \n\n(1) Tradition. People were used to dialing with 1-2-3 on top, and it seemed reasonable to keep it that way. \n\n(2) AT&T (the only phone company at the time) did some research that concluded there were fewer dialing errors with the 1-2-3 on top (possibly related to the traditional rotary dial layout). \n\n(3) Phone numbers years ago used alphabetic prefixes for the exchange (BUtterfield 8, etc.). In the days of rotary dials, no doubt it seemed logical to put the letters in alphabetical order, and to associate them with numbers in numerical order. The number 1 was set aside for "flag" functions, so ABC went with 2, DEF with 3, and so on. When Touch-Tone phones came in, keeping the alphabet in alphabetical order meant putting 1-2-3 at the top. \n\nSo there we have it. Basically, calculator keypad design evolved from cash registers, while telephone keypad design evolved from the rotary dial. Tradition has kept them that way ever since.

For the blind drivers. Duh. lol

It is cheaper to mass produce the front of the ATM machines.  So the drive through ones have the same interface that the walk up ones have.
