Apollo 12
Apollo 12 took off fifty years ago today carrying Pete Conrad, Alan Bean, and Richard Gordon. Their mission was very successful although they were not able to complete some planned stunts and practical jokes. Wikipedia provides more information here.
More Digital Signage Snafus
This is a new one for me. The ATM has both a screen next to the keyboard (unfortunately, a little below the frame) and a screen above. Presumably the top screen is for advertising, not to announce your account details to the world. The Windows reboot message appears on that top screen, not what I would think of as the ATM’s main screen. I don’t know what this machine uses as input—is there a USB port in back? Could anyone plug in a mouse/keyboard and perform Windows operations?
