Has anyone ever noticed that most of the ATM machines that are out
there is the real world (at least in the US) have a vertical keypad?

Does anyone really think that it is possible (without being a contortionist)
to prevent the person behind you from seeing as you type in the PIN?

Can anyone come up with a way to make it *easier* for someone else to see
you type in your PIN?

Retorical question time...

	why do most banks NOT use horizontal keypads (as well as other
	security measures)?
