The other day, I needed to get some money, so I went to the ATM. Using this machine left no significant impression on me, which I guess is a success on the designer's part. I didn't walk away thinking, "Hey, that was fun! Why don't I withdraw money ALL the time?" but I also wasn't wishing there was another way to get money. It seemed pretty straightforward in that it gives you step by step instructions, usually accompanied by a picture. The prompts matched up with the buttons in a consistent way, so you weren't accidentally trying to get money in Spanish. My only complaint is that sometimes I don't know how sensitive the buttons are going to be, so when entering my PIN, I push a button too many times on accident, and I end up with the wrong code. I then have to redo that part, leaving the other people in line wondering what exactly I'm trying to do. Or sometimes, I remember that I didn't push the button hard enough, and I end up slamming my finger into the buttons, once again leaving a poor impression upon the other people in line. Overall, a decent machine, and it's relatively easy to use. It tries its hardest to not let you forget your card or money.
