RAS Syndrome

So I was at the ATM machine to set up an IRA account, and I put in my PIN number. I realized it was going somewhat slow, then I noticed something off about the GUI interface: It was running MS-DOS operating system! That explained the slowness: its RAM memory must have been incredibly low. All it was doing was loading images in PDF format! It desperately needed a VGA adapter. Or they could have at least used GIF format, or written it in HTML and used CSS stylesheets. The IP protocol also must have been shit, as I couldn't even connect to the LAN network easily. Yet somehow they were high-tech enough to use LCD display. I hope the people who made that software get the HIV virus...
